Friends of the Environment (FOTE), is a not-for-profit organization of environmentally like-minded individuals and corporate entities championing the re-greening of Zimbabwe through tree planting. The FOTE initiative was pioneered by Nyaradzo Group in July 2010 when they started planting a tree with every burial they undertook. This idea culminated in the registration of FOTE as a Trust in November 2010. FOTE is governed by a Board of Trustees and works with the Ministry of Environment, Water and Climate together with its affiliate organisations, Forestry Commission and Environment Management Agency (EMA).
