Project Impact
Growing trees is one of the best way to tackle climate change and make our surrounding healthier and better.
Oxygen supply
1 tree captures 25 kg of carbon in a year. Our dense forest with 9,087 trees can capture over 2,27,175 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.
