About this collection
When you join one of our plantation drives, you aren't just putting a sapling in the ground. We work exclusively with Aravali-native species like Dhok and Kala Siris, meticulously preparing the rocky soil and setting up a three-year watering regime to ensure that every tree actually survives the harsh local climate.
We aren't just planting saplings. We are restoring the Aravali ecosystem that used to sustain this city. Our work at sites like the Badshahpur Forest Corridor and Ghata Bundh isn't about numbers; it's about habitat creation. We focus on the species that belong here, not just whatever grows fast.
When we organize nature walks, we want people to see the birds, the butterflies, and the native grasses that truly belong in this landscape. It is about learning to see the city differently, not as a concrete jungle, but as a space that can heal if we give it a chance. Whether you are a corporate team looking for an impactful CSR day or an individual just wanting to spend a Sunday morning doing something real, we have a spot for you. We focus on practical, hands-on tasks: preparing soil, cleaning up trails, and identifying native flora. It is gritty, it is sweaty, and it is deeply rewarding. This is how we collectively build a greener future, one weekend at a time.
Iamgurgaon
We are just regular folks who got tired of seeing the green shrinking and the trash piling up. We believe that real change happens when you get your hands dirty, so we create spaces where anyone, from school kids to seniors, can contribute to restoring Gurgaon’s Aravali habitat.
