This Christmas, you can gift a loved one (or yourself) an indigenous tree which is planted in one of the many reforestation projects in Southern Africa.

South Africa (02 December 2022) – If you have been looking for an affordable gift that gives back to nature and helps better the planet, we know just the gift! Greenpop helps people celebrate those special loved ones by gifting an indigenous tree to help reforest South Africa.

This year they have released a “Christmas tree” gift. The tree that actually gets planted will be one indigenous to South Africa and aid in reforesting the country.

“So whilst you dust the cobwebs off the Christmas tree and prepare to get festive, why not consider a green alternative for your annual gifts?

Fund the planting of a tree (R120/$8) and you will receive a personalised digital tree certificate to send as a gift. A gift with impact and purpose!”

Planting trees is vital for life on Earth. A tree has the power to give us clean air, bind the earth to prevent flooding, offer shelter and shade, cool down the earth, give people a source of food, some have medicinal benefits and above all, ensure a better future for all.

“For every R120/$8 donation, we are able to plant, maintain and monitor a tree in one of our forest restoration projects across Sub-Saharan Africa.

In addition to putting trees in the ground, we reduce threats to restored areas by providing locally relevant support services including alien clearing, wood lot development, and alternative livelihoods training to ensure the sustainable management of our forests.”
