Smiling Tree has urged educational institutions to treat green campuses

As India’s urban population continues to grow and climate-related challenges intensify, Smiling Tree has urged educational institutions to treat green campuses as long-term investments that generate environmental, economic, and social returns.

Where we plant

Plantation drives for every kind of place

We survey the site, bring native saplings and tools, lead the session and stay in touch until the trees take root.

Schools & colleges

Campus drives, green clubs and vertical gardens made from recycled bottles. Students plant, name and care for their trees.

Corporate offices

CSR plantation drives, employee volunteering days and green office makeovers, with sapling counts and photo records for your reports.
