Plant Trees with Project GreenHands!
Tax benefits
Isha Outreach (Reg No: 92BK4) is the social outreach wing of Isha Foundation which includes path-breaking Environmental, Educational, Health and Community Revitalization Efforts.
Project GreenHands (PGH) ,the environmental initiative of Isha Outreach has 4 verticals. Trees for Life, is the agroforestry wing of PGH through which farmers and agriculturists are educated on sustainable land use system that maintains and increases total yields by combining food crops with tree crops on the same unit of land. They are also encouraged to plant trees in the periphery of the farmland. Unlike other environmental projects, PGH works on raising human consciousness about our fundamental bond with nature, and trees in particular. As such, the project has been designed as a movement where people come forth to take charge of raising saplings, planting and maintaining trees so that the ownership of the plantation resides with the community.
If you have donated online, Project GreenHands will send you a certificate in April 2020 with a unique tree tracking code. PGH will
1. Let you know the exact location of where your trees are planted (GPS coordinates of farmland)

FAQ
Why am I getting my tree details only in April? Why can't I track my trees immediately?
We are raising funds for trees to get planted this year. Plantation will happen after the onset of monsoon between the months of August - December. In the months of Jan & Feb our agro-forestry team will go on follow-up visit to the farmland and get us farmer photos & data. From our database, we will be assigning trees and tree codes to all the participants in the month of March. So by 1st April, 2020 you will get to know the details of your trees.
Can I choose the tree species?
No. Even Project GreenHands team does not choose the species. Our agroforestry team will educate the farmer about the benefits of multicropping and suggest a combination of fruit trees, timber trees and fodder trees. But, it is upto the farmer to decide what he wishes to grow in his farmland.
Where is the project happening?
At the moment, the scope of the project is Tamil Nadu, India.
