The Local Heroes: People Behind Our Forests

Our women's team in Uldeypur, Meerut, is the driving force behind our work there. Whether driving a tractor or carrying compost, they manage the site with expertise and strength, proving that they are true protectors of the environment.

"We are rebuilding what cities have lost." This is our mission, and it's carried out every day by our dedicated field team. Here, a team member manages the grasslands, a vital part of maintaining a healthy and balanced urban ecosystem.

A member of our field team carefully lays down a straw mat for mulching. This simple, natural technique helps retain soil moisture, suppress weeds, and provide nutrients to the sapling as it decomposes, giving it the best chance of survival.

Against the backdrop of a bustling city, a member of our team transports new saplings to be planted. This image captures the essence of our work: bringing nature back into the urban landscape, one tree at a time.

With focused determination, a worker plants a sapling in a grassy field. This is the fundamental act of our restoration work, a moment of connection between human hands and the earth, promising a greener future.

Careful weeding is essential to give young saplings a chance to grow without competition. Here, a team member clears the area around a plant, ensuring it gets all the sunlight and nutrients it needs to grow strong.

A worker gently firms the soil around a newly planted tree in our Jaunapur City Forest. This simple act ensures the roots have good contact with the earth, which is critical for the sapling to establish itself and thrive.

A member of our team at the Harit Upvan site carefully plants a sapling, mixing compost with the soil. This attention to detail during planting is what ensures the long-term health and growth of our urban forests.

The women of our Uldeypur team carry heavy sacks of vermicompost to enrich the soil. Their hard work is the foundation of our sustainable farming and afforestation efforts at the site.
