We Planted 60+ Native Trees in Dwarka

We planted 60+ native trees such as peepal, neem, amaltas, pilkhan, baheda, jamun etc. yesterday at Dwarka.

We had extremely enthusiastic company from Dwarka Xpress Runners Club and Rise Foundation.

The most interesting part? We utilized saplings from our own native trees nursery in Janak Puri! Yes, the same one we set up reusing waste plastic packets.

Not just plantation, the volunteers were also cautious about the cleanliness of the place - they themselves picked up sapling bags to clean up after the plantation.

What happens when many hands come together?

An exciting day for us. We never tried it before at this scale at such a location. But with a little help from everyone the day turned out to be outstanding! The place is Janakpuri District Center. It's a large shopping center in west Delhi. Home to various kinds of shops, eateries, restaurants and even offices. Also, a perpetual victim of civil negligence by those who have an establishment here or the visitors to these establishments. Yes, the place maintains consistency all-year round in terms of open garbage dumping. Before we even conducted this drive we spoke to a lot of shop owners to understand the problem. It was the same lamenting around people's attitude towards littering liberally... Forget littering, people found creative ways to dump their garbage - office letter boxes! The other thing that came out of those discussions with the local shopkeepers was finger-pointing on civic authorities. Not that the place doesn't see any sweepers. We did spot one on the day of...

Embracing Nature's Gift: A Memorable Meetup and Thriving Saplings

In our tireless efforts to protect and nurture the environment, our dedicated volunteer group recently organized a meetup in Dwarka, with the primary goal of watering the saplings we had previously planted. However, the previous day had been graced by an abundant rainfall, leaving our saplings sufficiently quenched and eliminating the need for additional watering. This unexpected gift from nature served as a testament to the interconnectedness we share with the environment. It reminded us that our efforts, combined with nature's benevolence, can create a thriving ecosystem. Despite the helping hand from the rain Gods, we decided to proceed with the meetup, understanding the importance of maintaining social connections and strengthening our bond as a volunteer community. It was heartwarming to meet two new volunteers who had traveled all the way from Gurugram to join us. The highlight of the meetup was undoubtedly witnessing the remarkable growth of our saplings. As we surveyed the ...
