PLANTATION ACTIVITY
"A tree has roots in the soil yet reaches to the sky. It tells us that in order to aspire we need to be grounded and that no matter how high we go it is from our roots that we drew sustenance."
- Wangari Maathai
WHY WE FOCUS ON PLANTATION
Tree plantation means adding more trees in the environment. This is one of the most environment friendly work and a very necessary activity to fight against the climate change.
​
The core idea behind our tree plantation activity was to penetrate the message among the masses that planting trees helps to maintain clear eco-friendly environment reduces pollution and improves the green ambience.
BENEFITS OF PLANTATION
Planting of tree provide multiple benefits to us. These are the major benefits we get from tree planting.
​
-
Natural Air Conditioning: Did you know that, if we plant the trees in a strategic and scientific way around our home, we just can eliminate the necessity of the use of Air Conditioning Machine in Home. This reduce carbon dioxide from the air and also save your money. We suggest you go for green roofs at your home/apartment/colony. This is an amazing idea to provide environmental benefits to your community and grow vegetation at your home while saving your money.
-
Natural Air Purifier: When you go for a vacation in the forest areas, we can feel a fresh air circulation which is completely missing in the city, at your home. Did you know why? It is only because of the trees. Tree can purify air. They absorb harmful gases such as ammonia, nitrogen oxides, ozone, sulfur dioxide etc. A mature acre of trees can yearly provide oxygen for more than 15 people. So, having tree in your backyard, is always gives you benefits.
-
Cooling down the City: The news of Global warming always shock us but did you know that we are only responsible for that. It is us, who remove those trees and replaced it with concrete roads, building and other gigantic concrete monuments. As per study, trees can reduce city temperature up to 10F.
-
Reducing Climate Change: Currently one of the biggest problem of the world is to handle the climate change. And the trees can handle the issue by absorbing the Carbon dioxide from the nature. Annually, an acre of trees absorbs the amount of carbon dioxide equal to driving your car 40,000 km.

Plantation of Trees with the Forest Departmental Staffs
-
Soil Erosion Control: The bare soil can be damaged by these two primary erosions - rain and wind. Dropping down from the sky, helps rain to gain power and momentum which is strong enough to penetrate soil as they hit the ground. Parallelly, the wind can do significant damage if the land is dried out.
Trees break droplets of rain and weaken their strength while roots hold the soil together and protect it from effects of wind.
-
Reinforce the Soil: When it comes to agriculture, trees are the first to come. They reduce soil erosion, hold soil moisture and increase soil fertility. Thus, the soil can become good for growing agricultural crops.
-
Shelter for Wildlife: Trees are natural habitat for the wildlife. Trees produce fruit, shelter and safety to the wild animals such as birds, squirrels and insects and so many.
-
Reduce Water Pollution: Stormwater an be full of phosphorus pollutants and nitrogen. Without trees, stormwater flows into oceans and waters without being filtered. Trees break the rainfall and allow water to enter the earth and seep into the soil. Therefore, they prevent stormwater from polluting oceans. Except for trees, green infrastructure like green roof can help sooth effects of stormwater.
