Greenpop is a South African based social enterprise, currently in the throes of preparing for Trees for Zambia 2013, a project with plans to plant some 5,000 fruit trees in Zambia from 7 to 28 July. The reforestation and eco-awareness project incorporates tree-planting, lectures and activities, and educational outreach on topics from deforestation to climate change and alternative energy sources.

If you fancy planting a tree or two (hundred), you can volunteer to take part and start on one of the following dates: 7 July, 14 July or 21 July 2013. Prices start at £395 for one week exluding travel, however fundraising options are available for those who don’t have the full fee available.
