GUDA Gandhinagar
Gandhinagar, Gujarat
The CATCH Foundation initiated a project at GUDA Gandhinagar with the goal of transforming a barren piece of land into a thriving Miyawaki dense forest. This project received support from Techniplex as part of their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative. The CATCH Foundation's team implemented the "कैच वन संरक्षण प्रणाली" (Catch Van Sanrakshan Pranali) to plant and maintain the GUDA Gandhinagar forest for a duration of three years. The resulting dense forest is expected to offer numerous environmental benefits to the local community and contribute to positive social change.

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 877 trees can capture over 21,925 kg in a year.
Oxygen supply
1 tree captures 25 kg of carbon in a year. Our dense forest with 877 trees can capture over 21,925 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.

From people around the area
A few days ago, I visited the Chevron Dense Forest of CATCH Foundation. There I heard the sound of different birds and I was very happy to hear it. This dense forest was very beautiful and dense. Here, instead of the bustle of the city, the bustle of the birds was more and more attractive.
