SayTrees is a professionally run group of ordinary people extraordinarily determined to protect the environment not just by themselves, but also by sensitising others towards the importance of environment conservation and goading them on to participate in tree-plantation campaigns. Though it started off as a weekend pursuit in 2007 now it does more than 50 tree plantation drives in 4 months of monsoon. SayTrees spearheads a variety of initiatives including research, education, sensitisation and advocacy around the importance of environmental preservation and tree plantation. The group thrives on its vast volunteer base that runs into thousands, from young children to busy professionals, housewives and retired citizens. Today, SayTrees organizes tree plantations and water conservation projects across several Indian cities. We pro-actively engage in identifying potential areas for plantation, keeping in mind the biodiversity and ecological milieu of the local area. We try ensuring that the local communities reap multifold benefits; besides restoring the green cover, the trees also provide them with fruits, flowers, leaves etc commonly used in the community life.

We at Forest Creators believe that Development and Afforestation are not mutually exclusive, we want to demonstrate this by giving forests a new definition; one that is relevant in this rapidly developing world. We want development, but we also want out nature to be preserved. We want Factories, But we also want to be Carbon Neutral manufacturing products. We want Better & Wider Roads, Rail & air connectivity to reach our loved ones faster,safer but we also want to save the earth from the green house emissions. We believe it is time to shift from manicured landscapes to purpose based plantations that contribute to better air quality, water conservation, checking global warming and supporting the overall ecosystem. Forest Creators is creating Miyawaki forests that are 100% organic, wild,fast growing & self sustainable. We wish to Create a new definition of forests – forests that are compact and modular; forests that can be ‘inserted’ in every empty spaces around us. We shouldn’t be heading out of our everyday living/working areas to enjoy the nature. We wish that Nature should be part of our everyday life. We are thankful to our Mentor, our teacher, our well wisher Shri. Shubhendu Sharma of Afforestt for guiding us in 2014 to create our first Myawaki Forest of 1500 trees. And we haven’t stopped since & till date planted & influenced States & Industries & individuals to plant more then a million trees by creating Miyawaki forests across India. At our Not for Profit Foundation, Enviro Creators Foundation, We are now driven with a single Mission :10 Crore trees by 2025. And help Mother nature restore the ecosystem & try & make this world a better place for our future generations.
