We don't just plant trees. We revive water bodies, clear waste, and bring back the native Aravali biodiversity that belongs in Gurgaon.

This is the power of ecological restoration. On the top, you see the Sikanderpur Pahadi site as it was, a barren and neglected landscape. Below is the same site after our restoration work, transformed into a vibrant, life-sustaining water body that now recharges groundwater and supports a thriving ecosystem.

From a former mining site buried under 960 truckloads of waste to a budding forest, this is the story of Aravali Nagar Van. Watch as 300 students from six local schools join our team to plant 650 native saplings, proving that collective action can bring an urban jungle back to life.

Restoration is a hands-on, collaborative effort. Here, volunteers from our corporate partner programs work together, carefully watering a newly planted native sapling at the Ghata Bundh site. These moments of connection are what fuel our mission.

The return of the Jewel Beetle is a sign that our ecosystem is healing. This dazzling insect, seen here on a native plant, is a key part of a healthy habitat. Its presence is a beautiful indicator of the success of our native species plantation drives.

When heavy rains hit Gurgaon, our restored sites work as nature intended. This video shows our engineered rainwater channels in action at Sikanderpur Pahadi and Aravali Creek, diverting floodwater from city roads, preventing chaos, and replenishing our precious groundwater reserves.

We bust common myths about tree planting. Our approach is scientific and specific to the Aravali ecosystem. We focus on planting the right native species, at the right time, and in the right place to ensure long-term survival and true ecological restoration.

This is the 'sukoon' we work for. A visitor enjoys the serene view of the jheel at our restored Ghata Bundh site. Once a forgotten patch of land, it is now a peaceful refuge for both people and birds, right in the middle of the city.

This collage captures the energy of a massive eco-restoration drive at Aravali Creek. It shows the journey from a winding path to the hands-on work of our partners and team planting thousands of native saplings to bring the creek back to life.

"I heard birds." This powerful testimonial captures the transformation of Gurgaon's landscape. Hear from a visitor who was once dismayed by the garbage and now feels a renewed sense of hope, all thanks to the greening of the Aravali biosphere.

A 'tasla' carries more than just soil. It carries the hopes and hard work of our on-ground team. Here, a woman from our team transports native saplings, a powerful symbol of the human effort that underpins every restored forest.

About Featured

We don't view a patch of land as a blank canvas for generic landscaping. When we restore a site like Ghata Bundh or Sikanderpur Pahadi, we focus exclusively on native Aravali species such as Dhok, Bistendu, and Chamrod. These plants are uniquely adapted to our semi-arid climate, meaning they require minimal water and zero chemical fertilizers, while simultaneously creating the food chain needed for local birds, butterflies, and insects to return.
