2018 Monsoon Plantation - Week - 05 - Noida Sec 44

30+ SAPLINGS PLANTED IN NOIDA TOTAL SAPLINGS PLANTED THUS FAR THIS MONSOON: 600+ We have successfully crossed our last year's count and targeting to hit 1,000 saplings this year! After two days of continuous downpour there were literally dark clouds over our plan of plantation in Noida. However, mother nature heard us and helped us by asking the clouds to take a break! This Saturday morning we had a bunch of volunteers coming across from Noida and Delhi for this plantation drive. This venue is G Block park opposite to Amrapali Sapphire. Enthusiastic as ever, our volunteers got into the action pretty quickly. We planted trees such as imli, jamun, marodphali, peepal and neem here. All native, all good for our ecology! We had the support from Noida authority who helped us with pits and saplings as tall as 7 feet! Though we wanted a big plantation but apparently Noida authority themselves planted about 140 odd trees here. They have a target to plant 1 lakh trees by 15th

2018 Monsoon Plantation - Week 04

🌳 100 AMALTAS SAPLINGS PLANTED!!! 🌳 We are pleased to share that with the help of around 50+ volunteers - including kids from the nearby areas, college students and working adults - we have hit yet another century today. 🌳 We planted 100 amaltas saplings within a matter of two hours, although there was some interruption due to rains. 🌳 We have focused only on amaltas in this park because this area is frequented by goats. Goats don't feed on amaltas. 🌳 We could have planted more saplings but we were out of the scope of pits here. Our volunteers will visit the park mid-week and try to seek the DDA's assistance in removing weeds. Post that we'll see if we can plant any more saplings here. 🌳 Our total saplings count this monsoon season has hit 500! Yes, if you've been following our page, we had planted total 370 till last week, today's 100 and there's another set of ~30 saplings reported by other set of volunteers that they planted.

2018 Monsoon Plantation - Week 03

🌳 200 NATIVE SAPLINGS PLANTED!!! 🌳 Over 50 highly enthusiastic volunteers gathered this morning at Sainik Vihar district park for our weekly monsoon plantation drive. 🌳 We began with a significant talk about the importance of native trees for our ecology. In no time kids from around the area also joined us. 🌳 The kids were especially happy to plant the saplings. These highly energetic kids, along with our volunteers, planted 200 saplings of Amaltas in a matter of only two hours. 🌳 We selectively planted Amaltas here as goats frequent this park - goats do not eat Amaltas. 🌳 A team of volunteers and kids also did cleaning of the park area where we did plantation. 🌳 We concluded with an informative session on the importance of bringing back our native trees. 🌳200 Amaltas here... Sainik Vihar is going to be AMALTAS VIHAR! 🌳🌳🌳

2018 Monsoon Plantation - Week 02

🌳 120+ NATIVE TREE SAPLINGS PLANTED on SUNDAY! 🌳 It was possible only because of the hard efforts of our volunteers that we were able to plant 120+ tree saplings such as Peepal, Goolar, Arjun, Marodphali, Neem, Pilkhan, Amaltas, Imli, Amla, Papdi, Jamun, Kachnar, Mehndi and Shehtoot. 🌳 Our volunteers also fixed a young fallen Peepal tree by giving it support. 🌳 This season we'll plant a wide variety of saplings to aid biodiversity. It'll not only help in reducing air pollution effectively but will also help in improving our ecology. 🌳🌳🌳
