The Living Story
Where environmental care becomes collective habit.
Green Trust is a registered public charitable trust (Reg. No. 1219/2009) established in Thirumangalam, Madurai. We work in direct alignment with state environmental bodies to build durable ecological awareness across Tamil Nadu.
Our philosophy begins with a simple truth: ordinary citizens, students, and farmers can rejuvenate the land they live on when provided with seedlings, ecological knowledge, and supportive community frameworks.
