Project description
The project will plant fruit trees and indigenous trees in townships across South Africa using funding pecifically earmarked by sponsors for carbon offsetting. Trees will be planted under the existing Trees for Homes (TfH) Programme, in private household gardens. Residents of houses are given tenure through South Africa's Reconstruction and Development Programme (RDP), or the houses are bonded through banks with tenure secured conditional to meeting bond repayments. Trees planted as part of the project activity will be an expansion of current operations made possible by finance from carbon investments.
