SayTrees

It’s time to bridge the say-do gap in environmental conservation. While the current weather may feel pleasant, Bengaluru’s recent record-breaking heat this year is a stark reminder that conditions are changing rapidly. Instead of waiting for another summer to regret, let's take proactive steps now. Amid rapid urbanization, tree planting remains a practical and impactful solution. Seize this opportunity to reconnect with our planet and make a meaningful difference.

#ForChennai a #AMilllionMoreTrees to go  This urban micro-forest, planted by us in Chennai, highlights the city's evolving response to severe water shortages and increasing urban heat. A resident near our plantation site shared, "The shade and evapotranspiration from trees help regulate the microclimate around lakes, reducing urban heat island effects and making the area more comfortable for residents. Additionally, trees planted around lakes help recharge the groundwater table by increasing water infiltration and reducing surface runoff." By creating more native green spaces like this, we can help mitigate Chennai's chronic heat issues caused by urbanization.

At 73, Chandrakanth faced many naysayers when he transitioned to #agroforestry. The question of whether tree-based farming was worth the risk did not dissuade him. He candidly reflected, "When everything else fades, the trees will remain—they are nature's healers. I had no doubts about the trees, but natural farming coupled with water scarcity made the transition more challenging. The support from SayTrees through training and expert connections provided me with the right approach at the right time." To sustain his saplings, Chandrakanth relied on his horse to transport water. "I would fill canisters from nearby canals, and my horse and I would gallop to the land. It sounds cinematic, but we are living in times when lived stories inspire communities, not just audiences," he shares. Chandrakanth's courage just needed a support system. You can help more farmers like Chandrakanth as they farm in the most trying times of anthropological climate change.

Join our "Farmer First Future in #Maharashtra" movement! Whether you're from Maharashtra or call it your home, help us plant fruit trees with small, marginal, and marginalised tribal farmers of Melghat. Make a difference today! Why you should not sleep on it? In the undulating arras of Melghat's tribal belt, where traditional crops yield meagre returns, SayTrees is nurturing a verdant transformation. Recognizing the limitations of these slopes, farsighted farmers are embracing the potential of fruit tree cultivation. Witnessing a remarkable display of communal solidarity, farmers from Kajaldoh, Bodu, Borda, Palshya, and Kulangana join hands, their collective efforts exceeding 40,000 meticulously dug pits. This exemplifies the indomitable potential of making a difference for small marginal and marginalised under-resourced farmers.

𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐄𝐚𝐬𝐲, 𝐁𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐫𝐮! 𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐎𝐮𝐫 𝐂𝐢𝐭𝐲'𝐬 𝐋𝐮𝐧𝐠𝐬, 𝐎𝐧𝐞 𝐓𝐫𝐞𝐞 𝐚𝐭 𝐚 𝐓𝐢𝐦𝐞 Since 2022, we've been transforming a landfill in Somasundarpalay via natural reclamation. This community-driven project, backed by generous corporate donors, is an exemplary execution of how we can make a difference in core urban spaces like Bengaluru. While green spaces become a premium selling point for estates, we're making nature accessible for everyone by planting in common lands. This makes "nature bathing" an equitable and inclusive experience for all. Join our tribe!

Through our program, Annamma was introduced to soil-friendly methods, multi-cropping, and multi-layered tree plantation. These activities has significantly boosted her income by increasing her farm's productivity via diversified assets. Now, she's selling fresh vegetables weekly in her local "farmer bazaar", which she also uses for household consumption. We extend our heartfelt thanks to LTIMindtree for their support.

Southern India’s arid farmlands are showing significant benefit from our flagship agroforestry program, "Climate-Proofing Farms and Livelihoods." This innovative approach integrates trees into agricultural landscapes to enhance sustainability. Trees act as windbreaks, reducing soil erosion and boosting moisture retention in dry climates. Cultivating fruit and timber trees alongside traditional crops has increased yields even in regions with limited rainfall. Farmers diversify their income through multi-layered fruit harvesting and poly-cropping while participating in carbon offset initiatives. By mitigating climate change through these sustainable practices, farmers not only improve their livelihoods but also contribute to a healthier environment, earning rewards for their efforts. (C.
