Azad Kashmir’s Biggest Plantation Drive
1 Million Trees for a Greener Future
Kashmir Welfare Foundation is leading Azad Kashmir’s largest plantation drive, aiming to plant one million trees across towns, villages, and rural communities. This ambitious project seeks to combat climate change, protect fragile ecosystems, and restore natural forests while improving the livelihoods of local families.
Our vision is simple yet powerful: revive Kashmir’s natural beauty, reduce the risk of floods and landslides, and create a sustainable environment for future generations. By planting trees in Azad Kashmir, we are taking practical steps towards fighting global warming and ensuring a cleaner, greener Kashmir.

Azad Kashmir’s stunning landscape faces increasing environmental challenges:
> Deforestation caused by fuelwood cutting and unplanned development.
> Soil erosion and landslides destroying farmland and homes.
> Flash floods due to the lack of natural barriers.
> Declining biodiversity as native tree species vanish.
> Rising temperatures linked to climate change.
By planting trees and restoring forests, we rebuild natural defenses, improve soil fertility, provide clean air and water, and protect communities from climate-related disasters.
Why Does This Cost More Than Other Charities?
Every charity has its own approach, and ours is focused on giving each tree the best chance to survive and thrive. The first two years are critical for a sapling’s growth, which is why we provide dedicated gardeners to water, nurture, and feed each tree with organic care.
Your donation of £12 per sapling ensures planting, care, and protection for two full years, creating a lasting impact on Azad Kashmir’s environment.
The Impact of Planting 1 Million Trees
Our plantation drive will bring long-term benefits to Azad Kashmir’s environment and people:
1. Fighting Climate Change
Trees act as natural carbon sinks, absorbing harmful greenhouse gases. A million trees will reduce global warming effects and improve air quality. Shade from trees helps lower temperatures in local communities.
2. Preventing Floods & Landslides
Deep-rooted native trees stabilize the soil, preventing erosion. Forests create a natural barrier against flash floods, protecting villages and farmland.
3. Restoring Wildlife Habitats
Reforestation provides safe homes for birds, animals, and insects. Protects endangered species native to the Kashmir region.
4. Supporting Local Communities
Fruit tree plantations offer food security and additional income.
Community nurseries create jobs and long-term sustainability.
Educating communities about the importance of environmental stewardship.
