Every old tree
is a record.
Across Punjab, Haryana, Jammu, Rajasthan and Pakistan, villages are named after the trees in whose shade a Guru or saint once rested. We are documenting each one — and the full environmental work that keeps them alive.
In our own words.
- Promoting the preservation of indigenous and heritage trees
- Creating a nursery of high quality native plants
- Establishing a Community Forest
- Solid Waste Management (technical expertise)
- Water Management, public awareness campaigns, and disaster management
- Geo-tagging and documentation of heritage trees
- Planting special trees in gurdwaras, villages, and other places associated with trees
- Removal of invasive species from Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, Kashmir
- Partnering with government and CSRs, and open to donations
Patches documented so far.
Each pin is a tree, the site it belongs to, the story that connects them, and the community that continues to care for both. Filter by country, state, or species.

The tree-and-story work is one visible part of a broader environmental mandate.
Heritage Tree Preservation & Documentation
Promoting the preservation of indigenous and heritage trees across Punjab, Haryana, Jammu, Rajasthan and Pakistan — including geo-tagging and documenting trees associated with gurdwaras, temples, and shrines.
Native Plant Nursery
Creating a nursery of high-quality native plants.
Community Forest
Establishing a community forest — owned, managed, and protected by the village.
Invasive Species Removal
Removal of invasive species from Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, and Kashmir.
When a gurdwara takes its name from the tree it grew up around, the tree is not decoration. It is the reason the building is there.
Explore by country, state, or village.
Every documented patch lives inside a hierarchy of region pages — from country, to state, to district, to village — each built to surface the patches near you.
All regionsFind every documented patch of a tree.
Where is the ber found? Which gurdwaras are named after the neem? Each species page lists every documented patch, with coordinates, story, and sources.
If you know of a tree — a village tree with a story — tell us.
The map grows only as the community shares what it knows. Submit a patch and our field team will visit, document, and — with the custodian's permission — publish it.
