Tree Plantation Initiative

Greening Our Future: Tree Plantation by Champahati Swasthya Mela Welfare Society

The Champahati Swasthya Mela Welfare Society is profoundly committed to environmental sustainability and the wellbeing of our planet. Our Tree Plantation initiative is a critical component of this commitment, aiming at increasing green cover, improving air quality, and instilling a feeling of environmental care in our community.

The Importance of Tree Plantation

Climate Regulation

Trees absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen, helping to mitigate climate change. A single mature tree can absorb up to 48 pounds of CO2 each year.

Biodiversity Support

Trees provide habitat and food for numerous species of wildlife, thus promoting biodiversity. Forested areas are home to 80% of the world’s terrestrial animals and plants.

Air and Water Quality

Trees act as natural air filters, trapping dust, pollen, and pollutants. They also help in maintaining water quality by reducing runoff and soil erosion.

According to the Global Forest Watch, India lost nearly 38,500 square kilometers of tree cover between 2001 and 2020, highlighting the urgent need for reforestation.

Deforestation Rates

Studies show that urban areas with abundant green spaces report lower temperatures, reduced pollution levels, and improved mental health among residents.

Urban Green Spaces

The Forest Survey of India reports that India’s forests sequester about 5% of the country's annual greenhouse gas emissions, underscoring the importance of afforestation.

Carbon Sequestration

"The true meaning of life is to plant trees, under whose shade you do not expect to sit."

– Nelson Henderson

Our Green Initiatives in Action

Our Tree Plantation Strategy & Execution

Site Selection

We carefully select sites for tree plantation, prioritizing areas that are prone to erosion, deforested regions, and urban spaces lacking greenery.

Volunteer Programs

We engage local communities, schools, and corporate partners in our tree planting activities. Volunteers are educated about the importance of trees and trained in proper planting techniques.

Awareness Campaigns

Public awareness campaigns through social media, workshops, and local events promote the benefits of tree planting and encourage community participation.

Maintenance Plans

Post-planting care is crucial for the survival and growth of saplings. We implement maintenance plans that include regular watering, mulching, and protection from pests and grazing animals.
