30+ Native Tree Saplings Planted

It always feels good to be back on the ground digging the pits, providing the newbies with new habitat and fencing to protect them from outsiders. Our volunteers took further strides at our new site by planting 34 native tree saplings including neem, aam, gudal, jamun, pilkhan, baheda, peepal, kadipatta, siras, amalats and gutel. This variety also considers biodiversity!  This site is a barren plot of land, which we aim to transform into a dense micro-forested area. The active involvement of local communities boosts our spirit of continuing our work here and greenifies this stretch. We are self-funding this activity for the labour work required. With the current covid19 pandemic, we are keeping the scale of our drives to a limited number of volunteers. But all of us can take such initiatives at our homes or neighborhoods so that the environment keeps getting its dose of love and care too! Catch the action here:

More Humble Bits

Covid19 may have decimated our scale of activities but not our spirits. On 15-Aug-2020, two of our volunteers planted native tree saplings in their neighbourhood. They have been regularly planting and nurturing saplings in the stretch for more than two weeks now. With the addition of around 10 saplings yesterday including mango, peepal, kadi patta, baheda, arjun, siras; the total count so far is 24. And it won't stop here! There is a lot to add with their continuous efforts. You can do this too... Look for a spot near your place and plant some native tree saplings. Also, don't forget to water them regularly. You can also raise saplings at your homes so that we have a great bank of saplings to plant for next year's monsoon. Let's not allow this pandemic to put a hold on our environmental responsibilities! Let's keep doing our bit wherever we are!

Humble bits continue yet again!

"We don't have to engage in grand, heroic actions to participate in the process of change. Small acts, when multiplied by millions of people, can transform the world." - Howard Zinn In our series of decentralized activities, two of our volunteers kickstarted the plantation for this year's monsoon yesterday by planting 14 native tree saplings including amaltas, pilkhan, jamun, neem and peepal. Seeing their good act, a random passer-by also joined them! As we always say, this is not just a one day job. The volunteers will be going at the plantation site regularly to ensure healthy growth of the saplings. Also, they will keep adding new saplings to the buffet.  You can do this too... look for a spot near your place and plant some native tree saplings. Also, don't forget to water them regularly.
