A model of socio-psychological precursors of tree-planting behaviour using the theory of planned behaviour was tested among a cohort of Nigerian civil servants in Ibadan, Nigeria. Data collection involved the self administration of a pre-tested, closed-ended questionnaire among 400 randomly selected respondents. Results show that tree-planting behaviour reduced progressively from 17.5%-8.0% over ten years and in the last year respectively. Age and education had main effects on tree-planting behaviour but sex did not. Attitude, subjective norm and perceived behavioural control were significant predictors of, and explained 21.0 % of the variance in intention to plant trees. Intention to plant trees is a significant predictor/determinant of tree-planting behaviour. Being younger and having lower education are significantly predisposing to increased tree-planting while sex is immaterial in issues of tree-planting. The improvement of the appraisal of the virtuousness of tree-planting; the acceptability of tree-planting by significant others and the autonomous power to act concerning tree-planting, will engender stronger intention to plant trees and subsequently improve tree-planting behaviour. Sociopsychological realities deserve tremendous focus in matters of tree-planting agenda.
