As we all know that Trees are like the Lungs of the Earth. A mature tree can absorb 21kgs of Carbon Dioxide and releases Oxygen to sustain two human beings. They protect us from harmful UV Rays. They reduce water overflow and erosion by storing water. Besides this trees cool down the air reducing the Heat Island. Rotary Club of Pune Katraj did the Tree plantation Project at Bandewadi, Velu, Khed Shivapur, Tal Haveli, Dist.Pune with local Teachers group staying at the foot hill. We studied the plants sutaible to grow on the tekdi under the guidence of Shri Raghunathji Dhole, Awarded as 'A Tree Man'for his massive plantation project at Thevur. We collected the Plants of variety like Behada, Hirda, Katesavar, Apta, Pimple,Dhawda, Sitafal, Bahawa, Jambhul, Termarind and Kanchan, from Devrai Nursery, Thevur. We have planted around 70 plants with the help of Local Teacher's Group there, later who will be taking care of the plantation on day to day basis. A natrually formed well of a capacity of 10000ltr there is sufficient for 100 plants. Net guards are arranged by teachers to protect newly planted plants. Members from our club will visit once a month to check the status of plantation. The plants will grow into large deciduous trees in 2-3 years into big trees and will become nest to many birds. The exhaled oxygen by Trees will clean the Environment. Greenery on the tekdi will bring the rains in the area. This way we will be supporting the Environment as Environment Revolution begins with Greening Motherland.
