Heritage tree drive: 948 trees protected across 75 districts in UP
The Yogi Adityanath-led Uttar Pradesh government is conserving 948 trees over 100 years old through its Heritage Tree Adoption Scheme. Spanning 28 species, these trees are located in all 75 districts and hold cultural, historical, and ecological significance. The initiative reflects a major push toward biodiversity and environmental conservation in non-forest and community areas.
