Grow Trees

Greet your loved ones by planting a tree

Problem

Wildlife habitats and water catchment areas often require upgradation that can be done by planting trees. But people avoid planting trees because of the expenses or lack of proper knowledge about the process.

Social Impact

  • Grow-Trees offers the Greet with Trees® service, which enables people and businesses to celebrate significant events by planting trees in India's rural areas on behalf of their loved ones, friends, or colleagues.
  • Grow-Tree is always coming up with new ideas to fulfil personal requirements that people and businesses will be ready to pay for while benefiting society.
  • The WWF's Cities to Forests Campaign has recognised Grow-Tree as an official partner and a member of the UNEP's Billion Tree Campaign. Grow-Trees has also been recognised and honoured by Harvard Business School Alumni Bulletin.
  • Grow-Trees programmes positively influence the environment and society. They plant trees to revitalise rivers, promote rural livelihoods, restore forests, and enhance animal habitats. A tree annually offsets 20 kg of carbon and generates 118 kg of oxygen, offsetting the impacts of unfavourable weather patterns and natural occurrences. The initiatives also provide jobs to the local residents, assuring the socioeconomic survival of such areas.

Solution

Grow-Trees provide convenient and cost-effective services to individuals and organisations looking to plant trees. Grow-Trees plant trees only on government or community lands and contribute to maintaining biodiversity by planting only indigenous plants. They ensure that the plants are protected and upload pictures of the same on social media to make people aware of their contributions.
