Krishna Green Foundation · Section 8 non-profit

We turn open land into forest —
and keep every sapling alive.

Across Andhra Pradesh we restore reserve forests, eco-tourism parks and urban forests — then stay long enough to see them survive. 2,14,667 native saplings across 297 acres. 100% survival recorded.

Planted to survive.
Not just to count.

Most plantation drives measure success at planting day. We measure it years later, when the forest is still standing. Our site register is public, our survival data is verified on-ground, and we don't leave until the trees can stand on their own.

Our story
Our approach

From open land to living forest
in four steps.

Full approach
01

Site Survey & Assessment

Every site is walked, soil-tested and mapped before a single sapling is ordered. We only take on ground we know we can restore.

02

Native Species Selection

Only native, site-suited species — raised in-nursery to plantable size. No wildcards, no ornamentals, no monoculture.

03

Monsoon Planting

Pitting, soil work and protective fencing — then planting timed precisely to the monsoon for maximum establishment success.

04

Multi-Year Monitoring

We maintain and monitor through the vulnerable early years — replacing losses, recording survival, staying until the forest is established.

Why we're different

What a forest-first NGO looks like.

Survival-First

Success means a living forest, not a planting event. We track survival on every site and stay until the numbers are confirmed on-ground.

Radical Transparency

Every site has a public register entry — name, location, area, species count and survival figure. Nothing is hidden or invented.

Native Species Only

We plant what belongs. No fast-growing exotics, no monocultures. Only species native to each site's specific ecosystem and soil type.

CSR-Ready Reporting

As a Section 8 organisation, we deliver the documentation that corporate CSR programmes need — with no invented claims or unverified numbers.

For CSR partners

Fund forests you can point to.

As a Section 8 implementation partner, we deliver, document and monitor greening projects on behalf of corporate CSR programmes and forest agencies — with a site register that makes reporting straightforward.
