Today on World Environment Day June 5, we all pledge to keep the environment safe and also watch many inspiring stories about how people are contributing to the efforts towards the environment. But how many of us make a conscious effort to bring change to the environment and surroundings. Many groups and trusts are actively involved in the tree plantation activity, and today we list with you 5 significant tree plantation NGOs in India working towards the betterment of the nation and in turn restoring the environment.
Peepal Baba, the founder of the Give Me Trees Trust has been planting trees since he was in class 4, he planted so many trees under the project Give Me Trees at school and college level that later he formed the trust of the same name to continue the noble cause. To date Give Me Trees Trust has planted and preserved more than 2 crore trees. With more than 11,000 volunteers in India, this organization has many hands to support mother earth. This organization is based in Mayur Vihar, Delhi. This organization promotes natural farming techniques and Peepal Baba also gives talks on organic farming. Give me trees Trust has become the largest voluntary tree-planting movement in India
Say Trees is a group of environment protection enthusiasts and the NGO is based in Bengaluru. This organization is bringing saplings outside the school with a motto of inculcating the environmental values in students and they wish to cover a green belt on the outskirts of the city. They also tie up with organizations to bring the change.
Green Yatra is dedicated to the protection and conservation of nature and humanity. Their main objective is to create a green environment for the future generation and the team works dedicatedly from Maharastra and the team is growing steadily with many more activities than tree plantation such as sustainable solutions, water footprint. This team pledges to plant 10 crores plants by 2025 in the Pedh Lagao campaign.
Sankalptaru's mission is to create a healthy and green environment for the future and fill the land with trees. They also promote extensive agricultural activities across the nation. With each sapling, they tend to bring change to the nation. The unique system of purchasing a sapling and seeing it get to grow at the place wished for is a transparent process for all the contributors. Apurva Bhandhari is the founder and has an excellent core team that handles all the processes well.
Forest Creators are looking for massive change and plan for afforestation to build green earth. They believe in creating the balance on the land and wish to have factories and also a carpet for trees. With mentor Shri. Shubhendu Sharma of Afforestt the Myawaki Forest of 1500 trees was created in 2014 and now there is no looking back. This team has taken many such projects and completed them well in time.
These organizations are doing extensive work for building the green environment and the future we all wish for. If we wish to be part of the change but if one cannot work as a volunteer due to various reasons
- Lack of time due to the hustle-bustle of life
- Voluntary activities taking place far away from home.
- Less awareness of environmental groups.
- Not involvement at the ground level
Then donating to such a cause can make us part of such noble initiatives. Making a small contribution to the environment is like giving back to Mother Earth.
All the titles have the respective links of the NGOs. This post is only for awareness purposes, we do not gain any monetary benefits out of this. And all the NGO's donation comes under Tax benefits.
This blog post is a part of #CauseAChatter at Blogchatter, where we are writing on #EnvironmentalTalks and pledge to spread awareness among our readers and wish to see the change in the future.
To understand the restoration of the environment and how a common person like us can be part of it, we are hosting the EnvironmentalTalks on 7th June on Instagram and Environmentalist, Peepal Baba will explain to us the practices to follow for a green environment.

ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed this post. I loved the way you have shared the details about these NGOs. Thank you for introducing us to these organization. Would love to help them. Great work.
ReplyDeleteLove how India is really making an effort to conserve the trees. Trees may seemed a lot if you look at it from a far but with how much we consume and cut nowadays to keep up with the needs of people and don't make an effort planting again for the next generation, we might wake-up one day with none and that would be a nightmare nobody wants. Great work sharing this notable organisations who make an effort conserving and planting trees. This would help reach others.
