या उपक्रमादरम्यान शाळेच्या परिसरात स्थानिक (देशी) वृक्षप्रजातींची लागवड करण्यात आली. स्थानिक वृक्षप्रजाती या परिसरातील हवामान व मातीशी नैसर्गिकरीत्या जुळवून घेतलेल्या असल्यामुळे त्यांना कमी पाणी व कमी देखभालीची आवश्यकता असते. तसेच या वनस्पती स्थानिक पक्षी, फुलपाखरे आणि इतर जीवसृष्टीला आश्रय व अन्न उपलब्ध करून देतात आणि परिसरातील जैवविविधतेचे संवर्धन करण्यास महत्त्वपूर्ण योगदान देतात. स्थानिक वृक्षांची लागवड पर्यावरणाचा समतोल राखण्यास आणि शाश्वत विकासाला चालना देण्यास उपयुक्त ठरते.
