  • Overview

The Tree Planting Initiative drives large-scale, community-led planting to combat deforestation and restore Nigeria’s degraded landscapes, one street, school, and neighbourhood at a time.

Objectives

  • Restore degraded landscapes through tree planting.
  • Educate communities on the importance of afforestation and biodiversity conservation.
  • The problem we are solving

Deforestation and land degradation are eroding biodiversity, driving carbon emissions higher, and worsening local climate conditions.

  • Environmental gap

Large areas of forest have been cleared for urbanisation, agriculture, and industry, cutting air quality and disrupting ecosystems.

  • Social gap

Many communities lack awareness of how trees maintain environmental balance and buffer climate impact.

  • What we do about it

We mobilise communities, schools, and organisations for hands-on tree planting drives that restore the natural environment together.

  • Approach

Organise community-led planting events and distribute seedlings to individuals, schools, and businesses.

  • Strategies

Partner with local environmental groups, government agencies, and schools to guarantee wide participation and long-term care.

  • On-the-ground activities
  • Distribute tree seedlings to schools and communities.
  • Conduct educational workshops on tree care and climate impact.
  • Monitor and track the survival rates of every planted tree.
  • Who benefits, and how
  • Community impact

Better air quality, fewer urban heat islands, and neighbourhoods that see themselves as caretakers of their environment.

  • Environmental impact

A meaningful increase in tree cover, a lower carbon footprint, and restored local biodiversity.

  • Language preservation
  • Tree naming in local languages

Communities name newly planted trees in indigenous languages to strengthen cultural identity.

  • Local-language materials

Planting and conservation booklets are translated into local languages for wider reach.

  • Fund this initiative

₦2,000 sponsors a community planting day for five volunteers.

You receive a report on trees planted and their first-year survival rate.

The problem

Green Transport and Energy

Carbon-heavy transport and wasteful energy use are degrading the environment, while few communities have the awareness or the tools to switch to cleaner options.

The problem

Grow Them Right (GTR)

Many young Nigerians lack exposure to practical climate education, leaving them disconnected from the ecological challenges in their own neighborhoods.

The problem

Tree Planting Initiative

Deforestation and rapid urban expansion are stripping communities of natural shade, degrading soils, and making local temperatures dangerously hot.
