Tree Twinning

MfM Tree-Twinning ambition:

Money for Madagascar is aiming to:

• • mitigate for climate change

  • support vulnerable communities

  • prevent flooding

  • preserve biodiversity

by raising funds to plant a million trees in Madagascar over the next decade.

How we aim to achieve this:

We will do this through:

• • creating and engaging with a local and international tree planting community

  • having fun and

  • making a difference through tree planting with the funds we raise.

There will be exciting opportunities for individuals, families, schools, workplaces, communities and businesses to get involved in the months to come.
