Every drive starts with somebody telling us about a piece of ground. We survey it, match it to native species that will actually survive there, plant it with the neighbourhood, and come back to water it.
Anyone can run a planting day. What decides whether a drive was worth doing is whether somebody returns in May with water.
A resident, school or panchayat tells us about a patch of ground. Anyone can do this — it is the step that starts everything.
We visit with whoever suggested it, look at soil and water access, and check what already grows nearby and what has failed there before.
Khejri, rohida, neem, jaal, kair and other arid-belt natives, matched to that specific site rather than to a standard list.
Drive days are run with the people who live there, so the trees belong to the neighbourhood from the first day.
Species, count, location and date are written down for every drive, with photographs, so the site can be checked later by anyone.
Care rounds through the dry months, and replacement of what did not make it. This is the part most drives skip and the reason most drives fail.
Arid-belt natives, chosen per site for drought tolerance and for canopy that will still be useful in thirty years.
It does not have to be your land, and it does not have to be large. A school boundary, a roadside strip or a corner of panchayat land is exactly what we are looking for.
No drives are scheduled right now.
Dates go up here as soon as a site and a date are confirmed. Join the community and you will hear about the next one before it is announced publicly.
