VETRY named the programme “Vanathukkul Tirupur”, instead of just tree plantations due to this vision. Since its inception in 2001, Vetry has planted and maintained 1.8 million trees across various areas, including Karuvampalayam, Andipalayam, and Mangalam. In 2008, Vetry transformed the Iduvampalayam High School into a 10-acre green campus, benefiting over 3000 students. Notably, Vetry’s volunteers have planted over 1.8 million trees between 2005 and 2023.
VETRY named the program "Vanathukkul Tirupur" instead of just tree planting because of their bigger vision. They have realized that the 'Vanam', that is forest, is more than a plantation. They wanted to bring the bits and pieces of the forest to their proximity, physically and mentally. The barren soil of Tirupur was eagerly waiting for some shade to come, cover and control the water from getting evaporated. Desperate birds of Tirupur wanted some branches to perch, lots of Urban Species around the city wanted a home to hide and live and escape from the wrath of human activities. These local pieces of 'Vanam' created by the VT programme provided all that. These places are emerging as places of ecological functions and inter-relations among diverse organisms in nature. This piece of recreated 'Vanam' contributes more to the well-being of all humans and all life forms in the region and provides a range of Priceless tangible and intangible ecosystem services. As it grows, trees transform the microhabitats and micro-climate of the place and infuse life in its surroundings.
