GiveMeTrees started as a hobby activity for planting trees by some students in 1977. Three decades later, in 2011 it was registered as a environmental charity dedicated to planting and conserving trees. Today, GiveMeTrees Trust is one of the largest community based voluntary tree planting and conservation movements in the world. GiveMeTrees has planted over 20 million shade trees across India. The effort is dedicated to planting for three Bs...bees, birds and butterflies. Shade and fruit trees, native trees and shrubs, are priority for preservation and conservation. GiveMeTrees has planted the largest number of Peepal and Neem trees in the world.
