🌳 5,000 Trees in Nigeria

What It’s About?


5,000 Trees in Nigeria is a grassroots project led by Johnbethel Ezeugo, in partnership with Save Our Tomorrow Foundation (SOCTF) and The Gardeners.



🌱 Our Mission is Simple: To plant 5,000 trees across Nigeria to fight flooding, restore green spaces, and inspire climate action.

We’re contributing to Nigeria’s push toward the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) — especially SDG 13 (Climate Action), SDG 11 (Sustainable Communities), and SDG 15 (Life on Land) — with a clear focus on 2030.


This isn’t just a planting project — it’s a movement for a greener, safer Nigeria.

Join us. Let’s grow the future, one tree at a time. 🌱

Environmental Impact

This project helps combat climate change by reducing carbon emissions and planting urban trees in flood-prone communities.

Sustainable Communities

By planting together, we’re fostering unity, responsibility, and environmental care within the Nigeria community.

A Sustainable Future – Life on Land

This project restores degraded areas, promotes biodiversity, and helps secure a healthier ecosystem for generations to come.

Creative Collaborations

Through music, grassroots mobilization, and partnerships with organizations and volunteers, Ezeugo and Earth Keepers are connecting local voices to a global movement.

Why Trees Matter

Understanding the critical importance of reforestation in Lagos State

Air Quality

A single mature tree can absorb 48 pounds of CO2 per year and produce enough oxygen for two people daily.

Urban Heat

Trees can reduce urban temperatures by up to 9°F, crucial for Lagos's hot climate and growing population.

Biodiversity

Urban forests support local wildlife and create green corridors essential for ecological balance.
