Yellowwood Reforestation Project

Fairtree has partnered with the Cape Parrot Project and the Wild Bird Trust to plant at least 10,000 indigenous trees over three years – and this is only the beginning. Fairtree wants to give back what was lost – indigenous forests that provide a canopy for fauna and flora to flourish while limiting water depleting exotic species.

The Yellowwood tree is a national treasure worth preserving for generations to come, and the Cape Parrot, South Africa’s only endemic parrot, is reliant on it for its survival. On the one hand, this collaboration assists the Cape Parrot Project in their conservation efforts of the Cape Parrot, which is on the brink of extinction. On the other hand, the Fairtree Yellowwood Reforestation Project will drive local community involvement by enabling community members to act as custodians of these trees, including the Yellowwood tree, until they are planted in the forest.

The project aligns with Fairtree’s purpose of enriching the lives of all our stakeholders by enabling our employees, investors, and partners to flourish while positively impacting the society and environment in which we operate.
