Surat, December 1, 2024, In a significant effort to enhance the city’s green cover, Surat Van, a
citizen-led environmental conservation organization, marked the first day of December with the
planting of 1,000 trees at Sarthana National Park. The initiative is part of their ongoing mission
to give the city 25 lakh square meters of dense forest cover, contributing to both environmental
preservation and the overall well-being of Surat’s ecosystem.
This was in collaboration with IIID group, where many people participated and contributed to this
initiative.
The plantation drive was attended by enthusiastic volunteers, environmentalists, and city
officials who gathered to support the cause. As part of the event, Surat Van emphasized the
importance of community involvement in environmental conservation, stressing that creating
awareness about nature is a critical aspect of sustainable living. Through such initiatives, the
organization hopes to encourage the citizens of Surat to take a more active role in nurturing the
environment.
They are committed to increasing Surat’s green space and promoting environmental
consciousness. The tree planting event at Sarthana is just one step towards achieving our goal
of 25 lakh square meters of forest cover. They believe that through collective action, they can
create a greener, healthier city for future generations.”
The trees planted at Sarthana National Park will help improve air quality, support biodiversity,
and provide much-needed green spaces for both wildlife and residents. With urbanization
increasing rapidly, initiatives like this are crucial in mitigating the effects of climate change and
maintaining ecological balance.
Surat Van is actively engaging with local communities and schools to spread the message of
environmental conservation. Through educational programs, workshops, and green campaigns,
the organization is working towards creating a sustainable future where nature and urban
growth coexist harmoniously.
As the city of Surat continues to grow, Surat Van’s mission serves as a reminder of the need to
preserve and protect the natural environment for the well-being of all its residents. The success
of today’s tree plantation drive marks a hopeful start to a series of efforts aimed at making Surat
a greener, cleaner city.
