The Wedding Forest Initiative is a special collaboration between Grow Billion Trees (GBT) and Rakul Preet Singh and Jackky Bhagnani to make their wedding sustainable and eco-friendly by planting trees in Goa.

Rakul and Jackky are committed to sustainability and wanted to minimize the environmental impact of their wedding. Partnering with GBT allows them to plant trees to offset their carbon emissions and contribute to environmental conservation.

GBT conducts a comprehensive carbon audit of the wedding festivities to assess their carbon footprint. Based on the audit results, an equivalent number of trees are planted to offset the carbon emissions, making the wedding eco-friendly and sustainable.

Each guest receives a Tree Certificate, a personalized greeting card, and a unique Non-Fungible Token (NFT) commemorating the tree planted in their honor. These mementos serve as lasting reminders of the couple's commitment to sustainability and their guests' contribution to environmental conservation.

Rakul and Jackky have a special focus on sustainability and believe in incorporating eco-friendly practices into their lifestyle and celebrations. They are dedicated to setting an example for others in the industry and inspiring change towards a more sustainable future.

Couples and individuals interested in hosting eco-friendly events or weddings can reach out to Grow Billion Trees to inquire about similar initiatives. GBT offers comprehensive services, including carbon auditing, tree planting, and documentation of environmental impact, tailored to suit the specific requirements of each event.

Yes, the Wedding Forest Initiative can be customized to accommodate weddings of various sizes and locations. GBT works closely with couples to determine the appropriate number of trees needed to offset carbon emissions based on the size and nature of the event, ensuring a personalized and impactful experience.

Guests contribute to the Wedding Forest Initiative by attending the wedding and supporting Rakul and Jackky's efforts towards sustainability. Additionally, they can spread awareness about the initiative and the importance of environmental conservation, inspiring others to adopt similar practices.

Rakul & Jackky's wedding forest will feature a diverse selection of native Goan trees like Cashew, Flame of the Forest (Gulmohar), Indian Almond (Terminalia catappa), Jackfruit (Kathal), and Neem (Azadirachta indica), known for their ecological value and cultural significance in Goa. These trees provide vital habitat for local birds, insects, and animals, while also contributing to soil health, erosion control, and air purification.

Rakul & Jackky aim to plant 10,000 native trees through this initiative, offsetting an estimated 4000 Tons of carbon dioxide over the lifetime of the forest. This number reflects their commitment to a sustainable wedding and contributes to a greener future for Goa.

The planting will be carried out by experienced professionals in collaboration with local communities and relevant organizations. This ensures proper planting techniques, species selection, and long-term care for the forest's survival and growth. We will also explore incorporating virtual planting opportunities for interested guests.

Native trees are adapted to the local climate and soil conditions, requiring less maintenance and thriving naturally. Planting non-native species can disrupt the local ecosystem and compete with native plants for resources. By choosing native trees, we ensure the long-term health and sustainability of the forest.

Absolutely! Rakul & Jackky are committed to the long-term well-being of the forest. We will partner with local organizations and experts to ensure proper maintenance, protection from threats, and monitoring of the forest's growth. We believe this project will leave a lasting positive impact on Goa's environment.
