CrowdForest setting a platform to join the fight against the global warming. We are planting trees in a particular area of a land of 10 cents to 5 acres land and building a man made forest. Everybody can join this movement by sponsoring one or more trees, or even a forest.
Right now the team is looking for the land from organisations govt organisations or places like technopark & vssc or other institutions like universities, college campuses etc., “we can utilize any area of land from 10 cents” – team said. and anyone can sponsor a tree there. the crowdforest team will deploy a worker to take care of the trees. the land will be converted in to a forest with a written agreement that they won’t cut off the trees or sell it off.

Anyone can be part of the crowdforest by either contributing a small fund to create and maintain the forest & trees you are sponsoring, through a transparent system or you can give the land for creating the forest. the team is making ‘miyawaki forest’ for smaller land areas. the crowd forsest team is inviting interested ones to join this team to scale up its operations and spread this movement to other places as well.
