Tree Planting Initiative – Sri Dalada Maligawa
Reserve
The Valuable Tree Planting Initiative is carried out within the strictly protected Green Belt of the Udawatta Forest, adjoining the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic. This project focuses on strengthening the forest ecosystem through the planting of carefully selected valuable and indigenous tree species. All activities are conducted without disturbing the natural environment, ensuring that the forest remains intact while supporting long-term ecological sustainability.

Benefits

Food Security

The trees will bear fruits, some that will be edible immediately and others that can become edible through processing, ensuring food resources over time.

Economic development

The trees' fruits and the products derived from their transformation can be traded in local networks, offering income opportunities.

CO₂ Absorption

During its life cycle, each tree will absorb CO₂. The trees that you plant can offset your emissions.

Environmental protection

The trees are planted in agroforestry systems that favor the virtuous interaction between the different species and their positive impact on the environment and on the land.

Who Can Apply
How the Tree Planting Process Works

Participants may choose the type of tree to be planted from a list of approved valuable and indigenous species suitable for the Udawatta Forest ecosystem.

All plants required for planting are provided free of charge by the project authorities.

Planting is carried out in designated zones under official supervision, following conservation guidelines.

After planting, all plants are maintained and cared for by the Sati team, ensuring healthy growth and survival.

Ongoing Care & Contributor Recognition

This approach ensures both forest protection and meaningful acknowledgment of contributions.

Tree Plant Location

The Valuable Tree Planting Initiative is carried out exclusively within the Green Belt of the Udawatta Forest, a protected rainforest zone adjacent to the Sri Dalada Maligawa.
Access is controlled, and all activities are supervised by authorized personnel.
