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 7000 trees can capture over 1,75,000 kg in a year.
Soil Displacement
1 grown tree prevents 15,000 litre of water from washing away. Forest directly improves ground water recharge of city.
Employment generated
On an avg. one forest site gives employment to 120 people for 3 years. Till now we have provided employment to X people with all sites.
Project Media
From people around the area
“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.”
