Plant a Tree Campaign

Stephen Girard says “If I knew I should die tomorrow, I would plant a tree today.”

Trees are not only important to human being it also essential for the very existence for any other species in the planet. Unfortunately we are cutting millions of trees every day without giving much importance to replace it. “Plant a tree today and save our planet” is a unique project Vimukti has initiated to plant trees in and around Pothnal surrounding villages. Vimukti aims at protecting the fragile environment by planting 2850 saplings over a period of 2 years.

A campaign was organized at Sunknoor lower Primary school on 26th and 28th July 2013 at Markamdinni Village by Vimukti Charitable Trust along with Children parliament members, to create awareness against the growing amputation of trees and of the need to preserve trees. ‘Plant a tree’ has been an extraordinary experience for us; vimukti has been able to see the joy of our children who want to do something for the environment. The students were very extremely happy to participate in this initiative. To mark this event, Nearly 960 saplings were distributed to various schools in Manvi taluka.
