Greenpop

The Greenpop Foundation, a Cape Town-based environmental NGO, is at the heart of “Treevolution”, a  movement where people and nature thrive together.

Greenpop’s urban greening projects focus on planting fynbos gardens and trees in city spaces, complemented by school-based eco-education workshops. Their forest restoration program is dedicated to planting trees, clearing invasive vegetation, and collaborating with communities to protect indigenous forests. In addition, they also craft creative eco-education curricula and awareness campaigns, occasionally running engaging nature-based events and experiences. From getting your hands dirty running local projects to assisting in consulting for global organizations, you will be joining a dedicated nonprofit that turns ideas into impact. 

Greenpop was founded in Cape Town in 2010 and has since worked across Sub-Saharan Africa to empower thousands of people around the world to get active (not anxious) about the future of our planet.
