Dave Matthews Band Eco-Village

Dave Matthews Band has planted over 3 million trees since 2020 through its partnership with the Nature Conservancy.  The band has committed to helping plant another one million trees in 2023. Concertgoers can join in this mission by adding an optional donation of $2 per ticket to plant a tree with The Nature Conservancy’s Plant a Billion Trees campaign – a major forest restoration effort with the goal of planting a billion trees around the world. For additional details, visit www.dmbtrees.org.

Along with the tree campaign, Dave Matthews Band will once again join forces with REVERB to neutralize carbon emissions associated with both band and fan travel, resulting in a Climate Positive tour. Dave Matthews Band has a long history of reducing their environmental footprint, and neutralizing tour carbon going back to their first shows in 1991.
