. Planting since 1977. In last 45 years, planted and conserved 23 million+ trees, with the help of volunteers & nature awareness programs.
I've planted and saved over 1.25 million Peepal trees so far, and I plan to do so in the succeeding years as well.....

Please give us your plastic waste (delivery packets, milk packets etc). We will use it in our tree planting work (to collect seeds, mulch material, and to hold tree saplings). Please courier at below address:

Development is a good thing. Buildings and infrastructure are definitely for the good of public. But cutting down trees in the name of development is not really development. After all, buildings don't absorb air pollution and attract rains.

It took us 44 years to plant around 2.5 crore saplings across India. We are happy and proud to say that 2 crore of them stand as big majestic, mature trees.
Bio enzymes are soil doctors. They can heal and cure, nourish and restructure, any kind of soil. We make this with jaggery, vegetable and fruit peels, kitchen leftovers, water and a plastic bottle or container. It takes 100 days to mature. Join us to learn more.
Noida Extension mini forest work started. One thousand plants growing well. Another 500 to be planted this month. Age has come for micro forestry in Urban clusters. Cities need more greenery because it has to support more population.

Ornamental plants don't provide much ecosystem benefits. Instead of investing on ornamental trees, invest shade trees like peepal and neem that have a potential to live for hundreds of years.

Trees are water magnets. Wherever you plant tree species like peepal, banyan, pilkhan etc, they will attract rains. If Delhi NCR wants its rains back, the only long term solution is to increase the native tree count.
Tree plantation project team meetings. This is one of our sites in Noida. You should all visit this place. It is an integrated forestry site. You will get to learn a lot over here. Our team has all the specialists required to work on Afforestation movement.
We use plastic waste to create sapling bags, collect seeds, mulch material and many other things. Hundreds and thousands of volunteers across the country send us their plastic waste, delivery packets or any other plastic waste at our Give Me Trees Trust office in New Delhi.
Shade trees are essential when designing any park or playground. Shade trees like peepal and banyan are like the center of attraction of parks. Without the, the parks are incomplete.

Planting peepal and banyan trees is one of the best ways to create a permanent green cover. Some people chop down other species of trees, but since these 2 species have great spiritual and religious significance, they are much more difficult to cut down.
Creating nurseries is hard work. It requires continuous work throughout the year. But the rewards are worth it. All the work we had put into creating tree nurseries has led to the millions of trees standing tall across India.

Social distancing might be essential in humans, but plants don't need social distancing. Planting plants close together leads to healthy growth of all the plants. They are a joint family and share each other's resources.
A matter of priority. It all depends on political willl and priority. It is basic test of governance. We can claim anything in this world...that we are a superpower and we are unstoppable. Air Water and Soil are basic to our existence.

Plant trees only if you can preserve them for the next 2-3 years. In dry regions with minimal rainfall, like Delhi NCR, if you plant trees but don't water and preserve them, it will simply lead to the death of the saplings.

Trees are some of the best mechanisms created by nature to absorb carbon. To reverse climate change, we need to devote atleast 40 percent of our country's land under permanent green cover. This is the best long term solution to achieve carbon neutrality.
Education and training are the key to taking our message forward.
We will invest a lot on education & green skills.
2021 will see a lot of volunteer skills enhanced,workshops and trainings every now & then,recruitment of specialists into our teams.

We are currently planting in North East India...with people participation. Foreigners, travellers, trekkers, cyclists, artists, singers, painters....all joining in. Binay Kumar, posted in Manipur, is cycling around and engaging citizens.
Pruning of trees should be similar to how we get a haircut. When we get a haircut, It involves only cutting our extra hair, not the entire head. Senseless pruning of trees leads to cutting down of the main parts of the tree, completely destroying them. This needs to be stopped.
Hariyali Kranti Abhiyan at South Delhi. Citizen participation and engagement is what we are aiming at. More volunteers, more green more trainings, more biodiversity and ecosystem conservation for households across populations.

Some people think that the most expensive thing on a tree planting project are the plants. But in fact, it is the manpower involved in maintenance of the planted saplings. Creating compost, digging pits, watering, creating nurseries, rainwater harvesting ponds - all need manpower
64 Neem trees in Kausambhi Metro station area, Gaziabad, Uttar Pradesh. Planted 73, out of which today 64 survived. In 2007, used to visit this area for plantation and watering. 6 Peepal trees and 8 pilkhan trees also planted and still standing in this area.

Trees are the solution to 10,000 different environmental problems - air pollution, water pollution, carbon absorption, bringing back rains etc. Bringing sufficient land under tree cover is the only long term solution to reverse climate change.

Keep the extracted roots of trees in water for some time, and then plant them in your home garden pots. Keep them in your home pots for a few months and then give them a permanent address in a park, road divider, or any other place where the sapling will be safe.

There is often debate among people regarding 'right' and 'wrong' tree species. There is actually no 'right' and 'wrong'. At
@givemetrees
, we believe that every species is God's creation. But yes, it is true that certain tree species help the ecosystem more than others.
Neem trees are excellent for the Indian ecosystem. Not only is the neem tree an excellent absorber of air pollution and carbon, it has several medicinal properties.
Since 1977, although we have planted 40+ species, our main focus of work has been the peepal and neem trees.
Team today went cleaning a piece of land next to the Hindon river in District Gautam Budh Nagar, Uttar Pradesh, India. We have plans to plant 10,000 trees here. We are getting CSR support from HCL Foundation.
