The story of your tree
Sample · live data soonLast recorded photo
Every Canopy planting is documented: GPS photos, weekly steward logs, satellite cross-checks. The most recent photograph of your tree appears here.
Field teams photograph each planting site with GPS metadata. As the monitoring programme reports in, this face always shows the newest verified photo of your tree, with the date it was taken.
The species
A thorny, drought-hardy acacia native to the Indus plains. It fixes nitrogen into poor riverbed soil, feeds pollinators with its golden blossom, and shelters ground-nesting birds.
A kikar reaches roughly 14 m over about 14 years. Once mature, a single specimen absorbs an estimated 20 kg of CO₂ every year, and holds the riverbank together while it does.
Sample · live data soonYour tree's steward
Community stewards on the Ravi riverbed plant, water, and guard these trees, paid local work that keeps survival high.
Canopy's partner programmes employ local communities as long-term stewards rather than one-off planters. Your steward's public profile (name, photo, and their patch of the riverbed) appears here as field reporting arrives.
Life it shelters
Native riverbed groves bring back the life the bare banks lost: nesting birds, pollinators, and the small mammals of the Punjab riverine belt.
Mature native trees like shisham and kikar are cavity-nesting habitat for birds such as the Indian grey hornbill, forage for bees in blossom season, and cover for the riverine species that cannot live on a bare floodplain. Planting the bank replants the food chain.
