TERRE Policy Centre was glad to announce a successful tree plantation at Mhalunge site. The tree plantation was done under the collaboration with Tata Motors and Persistent Foundation as a CSR partners.
TERRE has successfully planted around 16000 trees in 32.68 hectares at Mhalunge site, which is situated near Pune. Initially in the year 2017, this land was a barren hill area, which comes under the Maharashtra Forest Department and now it is converted into green forest. The tree plantation project was started in July 2017 and presently, it is a forest of 12- 16 feet height resourceful plants species.
Here is the month of June and the onset of the rain god.
The trees and plants will bloom with rain showers.
However, we see depletion of groundwater storage. The heavy development around us like the cement roads, tiles and construction activities does not help water to percolate in the ground.
We desperately need to plan the storage of water in the ground with help of tanks and seepage.
This will increase the level of groundwater reserves. The rivers, wells and small water reservoirs will have adequate supply.
Harvest water! Conserve life on Earth!
Being as a Project Partner TERRE Policy Centre team was invited at Nagenahiru Centre for Environment Education at Godahena, Ambalangoda, Sri Lanka for Regional Forum form 4th Feb to 9th Feb 2024.
