NDA forest Tree plantation snaps


Mail to PTW (Pune Tree Watch) of the activity

Hi all,


Activity Plan:
Venue: NDA Road, Just before Venky's farms. (Marked in www.wikimapia.org)
Date: 9th June, Saturday (This is the current plan, may change)
Time: 8:00 - 10:00am

We (Anchal and me) had approached Mr. Bhalerao (Forest Dept.) for CCT (Continuous Contour Technique) and tree plantation on Bawdhan hill in Bawdhan. He suggested us a location on NDA road which was under forest area and where the department has already prepared the CCT for water and soil harvesting, which is a done for 7000 running meters. Bhalerao has agreed to give 100 saplings, seeds and any technical help on how to plant trees and sow seeds. I will be picking up seeds from Bhalerao on Friday morning.
Anchal has send the snaps of the place in the previous mails.

Your help:
We need "Shram-daan". We need man-power to sow seeds and minimal digging for future sapling plantation in the area allocated to us for plantation this Saturday.


Action Plan:
1. Sowing seeds: Dig a small pit by hand and sow the seeds.
2. Fill the existing CCT pits with muds for planting of sapling after 2 rainfalls.

I have confirmed five friends participating for the activity on that day. I am expecting PTW members to be there too!

If you are interested in this activity, do get in touch with me at the earnest (9860190881 / pramodgoggi@gmail.com). This will help me in the arrangements. I am expecting

Regards,
Pramod Goggi

Seems this drive was carried out in 2007.

I planed similar drive for sinhgad road hillocks in 2009 but but because of very less rain, it was not carried out.

Now its 17 June of 2010 and this time rain is also good so we can plan it. and if we do it early it will ive enough time for plants to get natural water and survive :)

you can follow details of this drive at MY green pune

thanks
