Happy 10th Birthday Tentsile!

Happy 10th Birthday Tentsile!

We’re celebrating 10 wonderful years of Tentsile! And what an incredible adventure it has been. We could not be prouder of what we’ve achieved this past decade. From our first gigantic prototype, hand stitched in our Founder’s living room, to the entire range of suspended Tree Tents and Giant Hammocks we have now - we’ve come very a long way!

Sumatran Orangutan Society: Save Our Orangutans

For Green Friday 2018, Tentsile helped SOS raise funds to buy an 890-acre piece of land in Sumatra. This land runs alongside primary forest in the Leuser Ecosystem, the last place on Earth where orangutans, elephants, rhinos and tigers still coexist in the wild.

Tentsile Tree Tents' Activism in the Tasmanian Rainforest

Tentsile Tree Tents' Activism in the Tasmanian Rainforest

Earlier this year, the Big Canopy Campout saw hundreds of people and organisations take to the trees this September, sleeping out in forests around the globe to raise funds for vital conservation work. One such group is the Bob Brown Foundation, who got in touch with Tentsile to ask for some Tree Tents to help fight deforestation on the front line. Of course, we were more than happy to join their plight – saving trees is what we do best. Hear from Erik Hayward - CEO of the Bob Brown Foundation - as he explains what’s happening in the Tarkine Forests of Tasmania.
