If you join us on one of our photography adventures, our partner in greening – Greenpop – will plant a tree for you – and you’ll get a certificate with the GPS coordinates of your tree, so that you’ll know exactly where it’s growing. This will help to compensate for your carbon footprint!
Greenpop is a nonprofit organization dedicated to reforestation, urban greening, and environmental education across Sub-Saharan Africa. They restore and protect ancient African forests by using a sustainable development approach. They also provide green spaces and food gardens in under-resourced urban areas, improving food security, creating opportunities for income generation and spreading environmental awareness in the process.
Since its foundation in 2010, Greenpop has planted over 250,000 trees, restored 150 acres of ancient forest, created dozens of food and fynbos gardens in underserved communities, and trained hundreds of people in food gardening.
