In our schedule – packed lives, filled with rollercoaster of emotions, we rarely find time to explore the beauty of nature. There is a joy in appreciating the magestic creations for their magnificent charms. It is wonderful when you listen the trees whisper when wind passes, when you witness the waves flowing in the lakes of shining water, when you feel the cheering light of the glorious moon at night and when you smell the essence of wet soil in rain.
Nature gives us so many gifts of wonders in different ways and makes our life joyful.
World Nature Conservation Day
World Nature Conservation Day is celebrated every year on July 28, to remind everyone the essentiality of being considerable towards mother nature and the need to conserve natural resource.
We feel ourselves when we spend time with it. One can feel that internal connection that we are part of mother nature.
Trees are the basic unit of Nature.
A very diverse variety of plants are present in our environment which creates the beauty of Nature. Increasing population, industries and rapid modernization has led to the depletion of natural resources by the activities like deforestation etc and destroying the Nature’s beauty.
A lot of breathing problems, mental stress and anxiety are commonly seen in present times. The freshness and good health which plants provide to living beings can’t be created artificially or purchased by money. Considering such global issues regarding environment, Dera Sacha Sauda steps forward and every year follows Mega Tree Plantation worldwide to preserve the Nature. Revered Guru Ji, Saint Dr. Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh Ji Insan, encourages such volunteers who are always ready to serve mankind selflessly.
This initiative of Mega Tree Plantation by Dera Sacha Sauda is followed since 15th August, 2007. Till now millions of saplings have been planted all over the world. These volunteers not only plants saplings but also takes care of those plants until their proper maturation.
Watering the plants at a certain time, their timely cuttings & shaping is the positive result that more than 80 percent of the plants planted by Dera followers flowered profusely and giving the proper fruits & shadow after becoming a tree.
GLOBAL WARMING….a concerning issue!
Along with solving the problems of global warming and environmental pollution, plants are also the main source of oxygen. Due to the harmful pollutants and emission of green house gases, a lot of issues are arising day by day. During the corona count, every person has come to know the importance of oxygen as lakhs of people dies due to shortage of oxygen. There is no any other option than planting trees to keep the environment fresh. For a sustainable world and to cure such issues Dera Sacha Sauda focus on tree plantation with full dedication & determination to serve mankind. It is one of the cheapest way to taking out carbon-di-oxide from atmosphere and to tackle climate crisis.

So far, millions of saplings have been planted under the true guidance of Revered Saint Dr. Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh Ji Insan, through the Sadh Sangat of Dera Sacha Sauda. The name of Dera Sacha Sauda has been entered in the Guinness Book of World Records 4 times for Mega Tree Plantation. Out of which 1st record was made when 9,38,007 saplings were planted in just 1 hour on 15th August, 2009. In second record 68,73,451 saplings planted in 8 hours on the same day of 15th August, 2009.

Tree Plantation is a gift to mother Earth.
The unique campaign of tree plantation launched by Revered Guru Ji in 2007 to save the environment and nature has took the form of a mass movement. It is the holy teachings of Guru Ji, that people have become aware of the environment due to which the practice of planting saplings has increased.

Not only this, after planting saplings, they also take care of them like their own children due to which the plants being planted are becoming trees. Guru Ji has initiated a very unique way of celebration of any special occasion by doing welfare work for mankind and upcoming future generations.
HOLY WORDS OF GURU JI,
“A plant is like a friend, it should be taken care of. Plants provide relief from diseases and pollution, which benefits the entire creation. That’s why plant more and more saplings and take care of them like your own children.”
