Tree Man Kuljit Singh Leads KGS Mission to Plant and Nurture 15,000 Saplings in Ferozepur
Ferozepur, November 9, 2026: Nature never asks for an invitation to serve humanity; rather, it silently provides everything essential for life. Protecting it is, therefore, a collective responsibility. Setting an example, the Keep Green Society (KGS) Team Foundation, established in June 2022, has moved beyond plantation drives to focus on the regular care and survival of the saplings planted by its volunteers.
Under the leadership of Tree Man Kuljit Singh, the foundation has planted approximately 15,000 saplings so far. Its major achievement was planting 11,111 saplings along the earthen embankment from Dulchi Ke and Habib Ke to Kundian within 45 days.
Unlike routine plantation campaigns, KGS volunteers continue to monitor the growth of saplings, water them regularly and take necessary steps for their protection. The team treats every sapling like a growing child, recognising that planting is only the beginning and sustained care is essential for its survival.
The campaign was undertaken with the support of Guru Gobind Singh Study Circle and Gurmat Prachar Sabha. General President Inderpal Singh and President of Gurmat Prachar Sabha Dr Kanwar Vijaypal Singh (Dr Bobby) also extended their support.
Kuljit Singh said that the success of plantation should not be measured merely by the number of saplings planted but by how many survive and grow into trees. KGS is also continuing plantation and environmental awareness activities in villages across Ferozepur to encourage wider public participation.
The foundation has appealed to residents to make tree plantation a regular practice and accept responsibility for nurturing the plants. It maintains that environmental protection is a shared responsibility and that collective efforts are essential to provide cleaner air and a greener environment to future generations.
"Planting a sapling is the beginning; turning it into a tree is our responsibility," said Tree Man Kuljit Singh.
