It’s Valentines Day so the perfect day to share an appreciation post and show our love to our incredible tree planting team.

Rainy season is their busiest time of year and Friday last week was no exception. Mzimba Forestry Department, supported by Ripple Africa, hosted a tree planting day.

More than 1,000 people attended and our tree planting team, supported by their colleagues from our other Environmental projects, helped to plant over 500 trees with Overton Gulu.

Overton is one of the tree farmers we are working with this year and he was overjoyed at the many extra pair of hands to get the seedlings planted. You can plant trees too, click here.
