Artificial regeneration and aided natural regeneration are undertaken on barren lands across the state. These efforts extend to both community-owned and individually owned lands. The Wing also carries out plantation work in the catchments of rivers and streams to support ecological restoration and water conservation.

Across the state, we have 41 nurseries are located at district headquarters, sub-divisions, and range headquarters. These nurseries vary in capacity from 50 beds to 300 beds. The saplings raised include indigenous tree species, timber-value species, avenue plantation species, Rare Endangered Threatened species, and flowering shrubs. These saplings are distributed free of cost during awareness programmes and are also sold to organizations and individuals at notified rates.

The Social Forestry Wing maintains parks and gardens under the direct control of the Department as well as community-owned parks. These spaces provide peaceful places for walking, picnics, exercise, and family outings. They also help preserve native plants, orchids, and local biodiversity while offering scenic and recreational spaces for the public.

Urban greening is promoted through avenue plantations in urban areas and along state highways. The objective is to improve environmental quality, support public health and well-being, reduce air pollution and flooding, lower urban temperatures, and create habitats for wildlife, while making urban areas more attractive and resilient.
