Gujarat Technical University - Ayurvedic Park
Ahemdabad, Gujrat
CATCH Foundation has initiated a project in collaboration with Gujarat Technical University (GTU), specifically at the location of GTU - Ayurvedic - Vishvakarma. The primary objective of the project is to transform barren land into a dense Miyawaki forest, employing the Catch Van Sanrakshan Pranali (CATCH Forest Conservation System). This endeavor is supported by Gujarat Technical University as part of their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative. The CATCH Foundation team is actively involved in the implementation of the project, including the planting and maintenance of the forest at GTU - Ayurvedic - Vishvakarma. The commitment spans over a period of three years, emphasizing the long-term sustainability and growth of the newly established dense forest.

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 608 trees can capture over 15,200 kg in a year.
Temperature control
1 grown tree prevents 15,000 litre of water from washing away. Forest directly improves ground water recharge of city.
Water conservation
1 grown tree prevents 15,000 litre of water from washing away. Forest directly improves ground water recharge of city.
Project Media
From people around the area
Global warming is a serious topic and very few organisation have been doing something sustainable about it. I am happy to be associated and contribute to the Catch Foundation's action plan. We have been positively taking proactive action to preserve nature and make sustainable change to our surrounds. I congratulate Catch Foundation in its efforts. Thank you providing the opportunity.
