Project Narrative

In collaboration with our local partners, these trees will be planted in the following types of projects: Forest/Woodland Restoration – Restoring catchments, habitats, and biodiversity Agroforestry – Improving soil fertility and crop yields for small-scale farmers Woodlots & Orchards – Providing communities with sustainable sources of food, wood, and income In addition to putting trees in the ground, Forests for Life aims to reduce threats to restored areas by providing training in locally relevant sustainable development activities. These include: Alien Clearing – Reducing fire-risk for forest areas Alternative Livelihoods – Providing sustainable sources of income that do not harm forests Farmer-managed Natural Regeneration – Helping communities regenerate forests naturally Good Agricultural Practices – Helping farmers use trees and increase their yields Catchment Management & Erosion Control – Using trees to manage water effectively Climate Change Adaptation – Helping communities build resilience in a changing climate By-law Development – Assisting communities to develop local laws that protect forests To implement this work, Greenpop works with passionate and effective, local, small-scale conservation and sustainable development organisations across Sub-Saharan Africa. While we operate in several countries, the projects that fall within our Forests for Life program are developed with our respective partners to provide locally relevant support for the communities and ecosystems they serve. We aim to foster and maintain ongoing partnerships to ensure tree survival and sustained impact.
