The project received support from Petrofac Engineering India Private Limited as part of their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative.

Project Impact
Growing trees is one of the best way to tackle climate change and make our surrounding healthier and better.
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.
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 2000 trees can capture over 50,000 kg in a year.
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.
