Posted on Monday, June 9, 2025

The tree planting activities as part of the Women for Trees - Green City campaign organized by Kudumbashree in all 93 municipalities of Kerala began on 5 June 2025, World Environment Day. This activity was organized in all 30 municipalities. People's representatives led the activities. As part of the campaign, NHGs in urban areas will plant shade trees and fruit trees until August 2025.

As the first phase of the campaign, survey activities were also organized from 21 to 23 May 2025 to find places for tree planting. This campaign is being organized in the state as part of the National Urban Livelihood Mission (NULM) implemented in Kerala through Kudumbashree. The campaign, planned by the Union Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs and organized across the country in collaboration with the Amrut Mission, aims to promote urban greening and cleanliness through women.

Saplings are mainly planted near parks and water bodies and on roadsides. The seedlings required for this are available from the Department of Agriculture, Kudumbashree's plant nurseries and local marketing centres.
