The trees are currently being planted near the town of Wolkite. It is the ‘capital’ of the area just south of Addis Ababa in Ethiopia. The area is desperately in need of trees both for environmental and resource requirements.

This project (apart from benefiting the atmosphere) will bring many other benefits such as providing food and shelter with a sustainable income, improving living standards, rebuilding worn soils, reducing erosion, replenishing groundwater aquifers, creating microclimate conditions, encouraging the return of indigenous species, improving the area re agriculture and bio diversity.
