Forests by Heartfulness

Forests by Heartfulness Our primary goal is to plant at-least 30 million native and endemic trees across India by 2025. In order to achieve this goal, a team of forestry, agro-forestry and climate experts are guiding the project and will continue to do so for the next 5 years. Under their guidance, as a first step, nurseries are being developed in 18 cities across the country. Saplings of carefully selected tree and plant species are raised in these nurseries during non-plantation season every year between October & May. Mass plantation of these saplings takes place every year between June – September (monsoon) and Jan – Feb (late winter).

This will be carried out by the Heartfulness volunteers, farmers, NGOs, school children and general public. Planted saplings will be effectively monitored and nurtured by providing optimum conditions for growth to ensure high survival rate. FBH has already conducted a successful mass plantation drive in the year 2019 covering 64 cities – 64,000 trees – in one day through its volunteers and its partnering organizations.
