About New Leaf Foundation

“Planting Hope, Growing Futures”

The New Leaf Foundation is a non-profit organization based in Vallabh Vidyanagar, Anand, Gujarat, dedicated to promoting environmental conservation, sustainability, and social responsibility. Our mission is simple yet powerful — to inspire communities to create a greener, cleaner, and more compassionate world for future generations.

Established by a group of passionate environmentalists and social visionaries, New Leaf Foundation has been at the forefront of environmental awareness and tree plantation initiatives across Gujarat. What began as a local effort to make Vallabh Vidyanagar greener has now grown into a movement that connects people, organizations, and schools across India — all working together for a sustainable future.

What We Do

At New Leaf Foundation, our work extends beyond planting trees. We focus on long-term, measurable, and community-based programs that have a positive impact on both people and the planet.

1. Tree Plantation and Maintenance

We organize regular tree plantation drives in public spaces, schools, and rural areas. However, we believe that planting is just the beginning — nurturing and ensuring the survival of every sapling is our true goal. Volunteers revisit plantation sites to monitor growth and provide care, ensuring the trees become part of a living legacy.

2. Environmental Awareness Campaigns

We conduct awareness programs, workshops, and seminars for schools, colleges, and corporate offices. These sessions focus on topics like plastic waste reduction, water conservation, energy efficiency, and biodiversity protection.

Through events such as Green Week and Eco-Drive Days, we aim to make sustainability a lifestyle, not just a concept.

3. Community Cleanliness & Green Initiatives

Our volunteers actively participate in cleanliness drives, waste segregation campaigns, and eco-friendly projects within local communities. We also collaborate with civic authorities to promote waste recycling, composting, and green infrastructure development.

4. Youth Engagement & Education

We believe that change begins with the younger generation. That’s why our programs target students and youth — encouraging them to participate in green clubs, eco-competitions, and volunteering activities. Through our “Green Ambassador Program,” we empower young leaders to carry forward the message of sustainability.

5. Green Events and Marathons

One of our flagship initiatives is the New Leaf Green Run Marathon, held annually to promote fitness and environmental awareness. This event brings together hundreds of participants — runners, nature lovers, and families — who come together to support a greener cause. The marathon not only promotes physical wellness but also symbolizes our collective journey toward a cleaner Earth.

6. Collaborations and CSR Partnerships

We partner with educational institutions, local businesses, and corporate organizations to expand our impact. Many of our tree plantation and environmental drives are supported under CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) initiatives. Together, we create projects that contribute meaningfully to the environment and the community.

7. Bird Care & Habitat Protection Initiative

 Our environment is home not only to humans but also to countless species of birds and wildlife. Sadly, urbanization and climate change have threatened their habitats.

To address this, New Leaf Foundation launched the Bird Care Initiative, aimed at protecting and nurturing local bird populations.

Key activities include:

  • Installation of eco-friendly birdhouses and water pots during summer months.

  • Organizing bird feeding drives and awareness workshops for local residents.

  • Collaborating with schools to educate students on bird conservation.

  • Conducting rescue and rehabilitation programs for injured or dehydrated birds.

This initiative has helped protect hundreds of birds during harsh weather conditions and fostered a sense of compassion and responsibility among the community.

Our Vision

To create a sustainable and green future where every human action contributes positively to the environment — ensuring clean air, living biodiversity, and thriving green spaces for generations to come.
