Raysan - 393
Raysan, Gujarat 382421
The CATCH Foundation initiated a project to transform the barren land at Raysan - 393 into a thriving Miyawaki dense forest. This endeavor was made possible through support from the GMC as part of their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative. The CATCH Foundation team employed the "कैच वन संरक्षण प्रणाली" (Catch Van Sanrakshan Pranali) system to plant and maintain the forest at Raysan - 393 over a period of 3 years.

1 tree captures 25 kg of carbon in a year. Our dense forest with 1,000 trees can capture over 25,000 kg in a year.
Oxygen supply
1 tree captures 25 kg of carbon in a year. Our dense forest with 1,000 trees can capture over 25,000 kg in a year.
Project Media
From people around the area
My interaction with CATCH foundation started long back in 2019 when Bharat Bhai and his team came to our society for an awareness programme and we all family members had attended the 1/2 hour meeting. Something really connected with in our entire family and we immediately started volunteering for the NGO. Fastforward 2023 we together have achieved various milestone for the foundation and it has become a part of our daily routine. I wish catch foundation team a very successful years ahead and keep adding value to the society.
