ICWO and ABHY DAN Trust launched the "Go Green" campaign by planting 616 saplings in Karur District, Tamil Nadu

It is reported that ICWO, in collaboration with ABHY DAN Trust, inaugurated the "Go Green" campaign in Karur District, Tamil Nadu on 21st & 22nd July 2025 by planting 294 saplings on private farmland. On 16^th and 17^th August 322 saplings were planted totalling to 616 saplings.This marks the beginning of our larger goal to plant 3,000 saplings between 21st July 2025 and 31st October 2025. 

The plantation activity includes the purchase of saplings, trimming, digging, watering, planting, and maintenance for one year. Each sapling costs Rs. 300, which covers all the above. After one year, the landowners or farmers will take over the long-term care of the trees.  

The selected tree species for this campaign include: The selected tree species for this campaign include: 1. Mahogany Tree 2. Semaram (Rosewood) 3. Neem Tree 4. Matchbox Tree (Thepetti Maram) 5. Teak Wood 6. Strychnine Tree (Etti Maram). 

These trees have been carefully chosen for their long-term economic, medicinal, and environmental benefits. They are known for providing high-quality timber, medicinal properties, shade, and ecological value, ensuring both sustainability and potential income for the caretakers in the years to come. This will ensure the farmers to protect the trees for the long run. 

ICWO is also expanding this initiative to include Corporation Schools in Chennai, where trees will initially be maintained by us, with the school administration assuming responsibility thereafter. ICWO believes that the successful plantation of 3,000 trees will be a significant contribution to environmental protection, reducing the carbon footprint, and promoting biodiversity.
