Our nursery, our partners, and how a block becomes a tree

Our mission & planting record

Saplings are raised in cocopit at our own nursery, and we procure plants from our partnering nurseries. The first saplings went into the ground on 3 Oct 2026 — 6 saplings at Casagrand Royce, Bengaluru. More planting drives follow, and each one is photographed and posted in the planting record below within 7 days.

The journey

How a pixel becomes a tree.

You claim blocksEvery 5 blocks (people and gifts) or 10 blocks (brands and creators) add one sapling to the counter.
Seed to cocopitSeeds go in with the next monthly batch. Germination takes about 3 weeks.
NurserySaplings grow 3–6 months at our nursery, topped up with plants from our partnering nurseries.
PlantingInto the ground in the open season, species matched to the site.

The mission: 10 lakh trees in 5 years

The wall funds plantings across India — schools, temple grounds, lake bunds, farm boundaries, roadsides — wherever a sapling can be planted and looked after. The goal is 10 lakh trees in the next 5 years. Every 5 blocks claimed by people or given as gifts fund one sapling, every 10 blocks claimed by brands and creators fund one sapling, and every batch lands in the public record below.

Where the plants come from

We raise saplings from seed at our own nursery, and we procure plants from our partnering nurseries when a batch needs more than we have grown. Every batch in the record below says where its plants came from.

Survival buffer

Nurseries lose seedlings; that is normal. We start roughly 1.3 saplings for every tree promised, so a dead seedling never counts against your pledge. If a planted-out batch fails, we replant it from the buffer and say so in the record below.

The CO₂ maths, honestly

We say "plant back", not "offset". We do not sell certified carbon credits. The numbers on this site are estimates built from these assumptions:

AssumptionValue we use
CO₂ absorbed by one established tree≈ 20 kg per year
CO₂ from one household's Diwali cracker session≈ 2–5 kg
So one tree≈ several Diwalis, planted back each year

Young saplings absorb less in early years; the estimate applies once the tree is established. If you have better sourced numbers, email us — we will use them and credit you.

Planting record

If a batch is late, this record says so publicly rather than quietly.

Saplings are planted where land, season, and sapling availability allow. We choose the species best suited to each planting site and note it in the record. Planting locations are chosen by us and may change; specific locations cannot be requested.
