Hector Bellerin has pledged to plant 3,000 trees for every win Arsenal earn between now and the end of the season.
Bellerin is a vocal voice on environmental issues and has spoken in the past about the impact that climate change has on society.
The right-back is now working with charity One Tree Planted and has pledged to fund the planting of 3,000 trees for every win Arsenal earn between now and the end of the season.
Arsenal return to action on Wednesday when they travel to Manchester City on Wednesday in the first of their 10 remaining Premier League games. They also have an FA Cup quarter-final with Sheffield United this month too.
The project Bellerin is working on will result in trees being planted in the Amazon rainforest in order to support ecosystems and the local people who help conservation and restoration.
“As a child growing up in Barcelona, I spent a lot of my with my grandad in his garden planting trees and playing in forests so it’s an issue very close to my heart,” said Bellerin.
“When I saw the great work that One Tree Planted do, not just the planting of the trees but within the communities as well, I knew it was something that I wanted to get involved in.
I hope that by doing this and using my platform, others will see how important it is to look after our world and donate to a cause which really affects us all.”
