For 3 weeks in July 2012, Greenpop is hosting a reforestation and conservation education project in Livingstone, in partnership with Zambezi Nkuku.
Zambia has the second highest deforestation rate in the world! In an effort to fight this drastic deforestation, Greenpop is planting 5,000 to 10,000 trees in Livingstone and spreading education.
Interested in volunteering? We have one, two and three week options in July 2012. Please complete the form below and we’ll send you the details.
You can be part of this exciting project! To make Trees of Zambia a success, we fully rely on the support of volunteers. As a volunteer, you will play a vital role in the project by helping us plant trees and involving the local community in the conservation of their environment. On top of that, you will be given the opportunity to take part in talks and discussions about issues such as climate change, deforestation and sustainability. These lectures and workshops will be hosted by professionals in the field, local NGOs, community leaders, as well as a member of the UNDP. The project will be an exciting conference of action, sharing, and learning! For more information dowload the volunteer pack below.
Volunteers from African countries should email zambia@greenpop.org for local rates.

With Trees for Zambia we will:
• Educate local children on environmental issues
• Promote conservation farming methods
• Initiate a culture of tree planting
• Develop a micro-nursery enterprise to financially support farmers
Trees will be planted within the Victoria Falls World Heritage site, Dambwa Forest and subsistence farming communities. We’ll also plant fruit trees and spread awareness at schools around Livingstone. In addition we will host workshops for subsistence farmers to promote conservation farming methods, since traditional farming methods contribute to land degradation and deforestation.
Trees for Zambia will be the start of an ongoing campaign to make Zambia a greener and more sustainable place.
