Project Impact
Growing trees is one of the best way to tackle climate change and make our surrounding healthier and better.
Carbon Captured
1 tree captures 25 kg of carbon in a year. Our dense forest with 10,800 trees can capture over 2,70,000 kg in a year.
Water conservation
1 grown tree prevents 15,000 litre of water from washing away. Forest directly improves ground water recharge of city.
Oxygen supply
1 tree captures 25 kg of carbon in a year. Our dense forest with 10,800 trees can capture over 2,70,000 kg in a year.

“After participating in the plantation drive, I am amazed to see the transformation in the landscape. What was once a barren land is now adorned with lush greenery and thriving trees. It's a testament to the power of collective action and the impact we can make on the environment. I feel proud to have been a part of this initiative.”
