Origin
Heartfulness Green was launched by Heartfulness Institute as an extension of the Green Kanha initiative. The Heartfulness Institute developed Kanha Shantivanam by developing a dry and barren land into a lush green flourishing ecosystem over a period of five years creating a thriving example of nurturing India's mega-biodiversity, saving endangered and rare species, creating medicinal gardens, and coexistence of plants and animal wildlife. Encouraged by the turnaround, they launched the Heartfulness Green initiative to undertake several projects to build sustainable ecosystems for future generations. With the motto “Forward into future”. Spurred by the success, the initiative was launched across all its facilities in India to mark the World Environment Day in 2018 with the commitment to earmark 25 acres of land in Telangana state and planting, adopting and nurturing 10 million trees across India over the next year.

Initiatives
‘PeaceTrees’

In March 2019, The Heartfulness Green launched a campaign called ‘PeaceTrees,’ where they used a mixture of herbal extracts and natural lime to paint trees white in 40 cities across India. This month-long initiative was organized on the occasion of holi to send out a message of peace as well as save trees as the mixture used to paint is supposed to protect the trees from heat and other insects that damage the trees.
