A kind contribution from Earth Restoration Service UK to this great environmental cause has helped us to bring the awareness of the importance of trees to our children. 

It also made it possible for the students to plant trees and flowering shrubs around our newly constructed campus.

First the children from 1^st through 7^th grade spent two enjoyable days making awareness posters for an exhibition on trees and their value to Life on Earth. Then all the students viewed the exhibition with visible interest and learnt many new facts.

A few days later, they got down and happily dirty, to the actual work of planting saplings. They will also be caring for their saplings to make sure they survive. 

Trees for Life conserves and develops the natural environment and heritage of this historic holy land by planting friut trees such as: Mango, Guava, Orange, Lime/Lemon, Amla, Jackfruit, Starfruit (Carambola), Pomegranate (Grenadine), Blackberry (Jamoon), and Mulberry. 

Feeding People For Life.  By giving these trees we feed many, many generations,  to come as well.  We maintain our own organic farm and nursery, and take thousands of saplings to places which are destitute, desert like and poor, such as the villages in and around the holy land of Vrindavan.

In 2007 alone we planted more than 2,100 tree saplings so far.  The survival rate is very high, only 127 trees needed replanting.  This is because we place our saplings carefully in the hands of people looking at what kind of land they have and asking which kind of trees they would like.  We also educate them if necesary how to nurture, protect and maintain the tree, checking back with them periodically.

Trees For Life gave saplings to 687 family homes this year as well as to ashrams (monasteries), schoolyards and to public places such as lakes, ponds and roadways, we also give sacred trees, shade trees and flower bearing trees.
