Planters can choose any of the plantation location available on our planting page. SankalpTaru has selected sites wherein there is a pressing need to plant trees and thus we always attach a social theme to the whole program. Our site selection process follows a diligent analysis covering various aspects e.g. environmental impact and social theme study, NGO partner evaluation, tree species selection, survival rate, post plantation care and community participation.

Every tree planted in SankalpTaru Forest has a profile. You can check profile of a tree by clicking on the virtual tree shown in the forest page. The tree profile shows information related to date of plantation, your tagged wishes, real tree photograph and geographical location on the map (latter two are only shown if the real tree has been planted, otherwise it shows the placeholder message).

Regarding updates on growth of trees, we will share an annual update report of the plantation site where you have made contributions. The report will have details of the collective health and survival rate of trees, along with data on impact generated and latest pictures from ground. We do not share individual tree growth update.
