Love a Tree Foundation is a community-driven, registered non-profit based in Colombo, working to protect and restore urban wetlands through education, awareness, and community engagement. As a proud member of the Wetland Link International (WLI) Asia–Oceania network, we focus on strengthening the connection between people and nature — especially among children, youth, and local communities.
Our work focuses on helping people connect with and care for Colombo’s wetlands. Through education, community involvement, research, and public awareness, we encourage youth, families, and local communities to understand the value of these ecosystems and take part in protecting them. By sharing knowledge and building strong partnerships, we aim to create a lasting culture of stewardship that keeps our wetlands thriving for generations to come.
Our team at Love a Tree Foundation is made up of passionate wetland experts, educators, and dedicated community volunteers who bring knowledge, energy, and commitment to every project. Together, we combine scientific expertise with local insight to design and implement initiatives that connect people with Colombo’s wetlands. Every member plays a vital role in guiding, inspiring, and empowering communities to become active stewards of these precious ecosystems.

Our impact has made a real difference in wetland conservation:
Our past projects have applied CEPA (Communication, Education, Participation, and Awareness) to drive wetland conservation. By sharing knowledge, teaching communities, involving them in hands-on activities, and raising awareness about the value of wetlands, we have strengthened local capacity and empowered youth and communities to actively protect and care for Colombo’s wetlands.
