@nelsonchamisa Infrastructure is great, but let's not make the same mistakes of the industrialised world. We want cities with green spaces, trees and bike paths, not concrete jungles filled with billboards. Let's do this better!
My Trees has been expanding its operational footprint in 2022. In December we will be planting 100,000 trees in Honde Valley. Here are some pictures of the nurseries there.
We are delighted to have been selected as one of the @Afr100_Official top 100 restoration projects in Africa. It is a huge honour to have our work recognised and be part of this vital initiative.

Zimbabwean project @MyTreesTrust has been named as a conservation partner for the mega-rock band @coldplay on their scheduled 2022 world tour
And My Trees' Nick de Swardt tells @BBC_AudreyB the band's lead singer Chris Martin has strong Zimbabwean ties https://t.co/8yktQDXDCi
We are delighted to have been selected as one of the winners of the @Uplink World Economic Forum Carbon Market Challenge! We look forward to collaborating with the other Top Innovators and working towards Net Zero!

We also desperately need a coherent national framework for arresting deforestation and environmental destruction.
@METHI_Zimbabwe let's work together to put our country on a path to a more sustainable future - @MyTreesTrust is ready!
If Zimbabwe makes the switch to charcoal (like Zambia has), this will rapidly accelerate deforestation. We need demand side solutions NOW! Cheap clean energy at a national level is a prerequisite to saving our forests.
A tree will be planted for every ticket sold by @coldplay on their world tour. Coldplay have picked @MyTreesTrust, a Zim reforestration project, as partner. Awesome!
(Chris Martin's mum is a Zimbo and a lot of his music is based on Zim rhythms)

@MyTreesTrust is delighted to have been selected as @Coldplay's conservation partner for their upcoming tour. This is the start of a partnership that will see the restoration and protection of hundreds of thousands of hectares of Zim's precious remaining woodlands. Thank you!
@Coldplay's contribution will be deployed across our conservation and tree planting portfolios - creating quality jobs for rural Zimbabweans, protecting habitat and re-opening vital wildlife corridors
We are excited to announce #MyTreesTrust is now operating in Zimbabwe's Honde Valley. Thank you to our supporters who've made this expansion possible and to the Honde Valley community for inviting us to walk this re-afforestation journey together. #righttreesintherightplace
Our team will continue our focus on urban tree planting under the My Trees umbrella and are planning to plant 2,500 indigenous trees at schools, hospitals and public spaces in Harare this season. Continue to follow us on @MyTreesTrust and thanks for your support so far!
We are delighted to announce that ZimTree will be merging with the My Trees Trust (@MyTreesTrust ). The My Trees trust is one of the few organisations with the funding, scale and ambition to make a difference to the deforestation crisis in Zimbabwe.
#TreePlanting initiatives are successful when the right tree is planted in the right place for the right purpose. Check out @CIFOR-ICRAF Principles for Successful Tree Planting ➡️ https://t.co/G0BabIbzo1 @GlobalLF @FTA_CGIAR
#TreeGrowing#ForestsMatter
Seed by seed, tree by tree, we are working with communities in the Hurungwe district of Zimbabwe to connect intact indigenous woodlots with the remaining indigenous woodlands.
