Here’s how it works:
We have identified 20 community based projects and underprivileged schools (to start) around the Western Cape in need of greening. Leaders from each of these projects were very keen to have their spaces greened and have agreed work with GreenPop and maintain the trees that are planted in their areas. The trees will be contributed by anyone and everyone who wants to help – individuals, families, groups of friends and corporate entities can make their green mark by buying trees for those areas in need of some beautreefying. So far we have over 300 trees donated to the cause.
When you or your company buys one or perhaps a truckload of trees, your contributions will be recognised through a digital certificate (no paper, of course) that lays out the GPS coordinates of where your trees will be planted as well as details about the community that will benefit from the greening. And for those who are a little more hands on, we will also invite treerific buyers to come and plant their own trees.
