Welcome to

Vrikshamitra

Planting trees for a greener tomorrow.

WHO WE ARE

Vrikshamitra Foundation is a non-profit environmental organization committed to creating a greener and more sustainable planet through community-driven tree plantation initiatives. Founded in 2018 by a group of eco-conscious individuals, our mission is to promote environmental awareness, ecological balance, and long-term climate resilience by connecting citizens, schools, RWAs, and local authorities. With over 50,000+ trees planted across multiple regions, we continue to inspire change by turning barren spaces into green zones through grassroots participation.

Full History Behind Formation

The idea of Vrikshamitra was born in 2018 when a small group of nature enthusiasts began conducting weekend plantation drives around Pune. What started as a passionate hobby quickly transformed into a mission to combat deforestation and urban pollution. In 2020, Vrikshamitra was officially registered as a charitable NGO. Since then, we’ve collaborated with municipal bodies, schools, housing societies, and other NGOs to expand our green footprint. By 2023, we reached a milestone of 50,000+ saplings planted and launched our “Smart Forest Initiative” using technology to monitor tree growth. Our journey is rooted in the belief that every tree planted is a step toward a cleaner, healthier future.
