Radio Workshop: Tree planting

Climate Ambassadors planting trees at the Zambian Children

Welcome to the Radio Workshop!

Trees provide us with timber for building, wood for furniture, pulp for paper, fruit and seeds for food and medicine, and they’re home to many insects and animals. But do we ever give much thought to what happens once a tree is cut down for our use? The Radio Workshop is celebrating Arbour Month this September. We found out from youth in Zambia what trees mean to them, and how they are changing their communities one tree at a time!
