We don't count saplings planted. We count trees that survived.
Protect Tree Foundation restores India's green cover through science-backed planting, community stewardship, and radical transparency — not just plantation-day photos.
Cooling cities, one verified tree at a time.
As Indian cities urbanise rapidly, they face real ecological strain — shrinking green cover, urban heat islands, and falling groundwater tables. Protect Tree Foundation builds self-sustaining green patches designed to survive those pressures, not just look good in a launch-day photo.
Scientific Restoration
We select native, climate-suited species over whatever's easiest to source, and plant in patterns designed for long-term survival — not just fast visual coverage for a report.
Radical Transparency
Every donor gets the GPS coordinates of their tree and real field updates over time — not a one-time thank-you email and silence after that.
The people behind every planted tree.
“A plantation drive means nothing if nobody checks on it a year later. Our job doesn't end when the sapling goes into the ground — it begins there.”

How we plant differently.
Digging a hole and dropping in a sapling is the easy 10%. The other 90% — the part that actually decides whether a tree survives — is everything we do afterward.
Native Species Only
We grow and plant indigenous trees like Neem, Peepal, Arjun and Jamun — species already adapted to the local climate that need less water and support local birds and insects.
High-Density Native Clusters
In tight urban spaces, we plant multiple native species close together so they compete upward for light — producing denser, faster-establishing cover than spaced-out single rows.
Committed Aftercare
Every site is watered, weeded and monitored for at least 3 years after planting — the single biggest reason our survival numbers hold up over time.
Milestones, not just momentum.
From a weekend volunteer group to a tracked reforestation programme — here's how we got here.
The First Drive
A small weekend plantation drive in Gurugram with a handful of volunteers and no funding beyond personal savings.
Formal Registration
Registered as a [EDIT ME: entity type] non-profit, and built our first basic system for logging exactly where each tree was planted.
Scaling Through Partners
Formed our first corporate CSR partnerships and crossed 5,000 trees planted across Delhi NCR.
The Tracking System
Rolled out geo-tagging and 3-year survival check-ins as a standard part of every plantation drive — not an optional add-on.
Present Day
12,000+ trees planted and counting, with active volunteer chapters across Delhi NCR, Gurugram and Noida.
