On Saturday 26th,July a few but faithful Wooders planted 100 saplings at Shankar Vihar.
It was a hot day, but the Wooders braved the odds to green the city. We were also helped by the DEORA workforce to assist us, since our other Volunteers couldn't make it.
Diospyros, Sheeham, Alistonia and Peepul are some of the trees we planted.
We are planning our next De-nailing Drive soon, but we need Volunteers to write to us to tell us suitable Dates and Venues where trees need our attention. Write in to us at monsoonwooding@gmail.com or call at 26671758.
Keep Greening and Grinning...

On Saturday, 21st June, Monsoon Wooding undertook its 2nd Plantation Drive of 2008. It turned out even better than the Wooders had hoped for and we were successful in planting a staggering 200 trees!
25 Wooders gathered in Rockview Apartments, B2, Vasant Kunj to commence the arduous task of digging 200 plots, planting 200 trees and fabricating 200 tree guards. It wasn't all work though, the entire event was loads of fun!
We began prepping the park on Friday itself by de-weeding and digging as many plots as possible. The Wooders did everything themselves including unloading 40ft of manure from a truck.
Monsoon Wooding has also hired a gardener to take care of these saplings in the crucial first few months. These trees are being looked after well as we scout for new locations to plant in!

Monsoon Wooding undertook its third successful sapling distribution drive in the Defense Colony Market on 16th June.
We had 20 eager volunteers ready to mobilize support among the shoppers. We distributed over 100 pots of lavender and kofia! The response was good and we received much encouragement.
Another NGO, Katha, has agreed to lend help, monetary and otherwise, to the Monsoon Wooding compaign. Their encouragement has bolstered our confidence and we are planning our future events with even more enthusiasm than before.
At this time, everyone can help in their own way. We need to plant 3000 trees in Delhi, our immediate concern is figuring out where. While we have a few areas in mind, it would be tremendous help if everyone could scout for arable land.
Keep an eye out!

Monsoon Wooding and Accenture teamed up on Saturday, 7th of June to plant 47 trees in Maharaja Agrasena Park. This was Monsoon Wooding's first plantation in 2008 and the turnout was brilliant. Over 30 enthusiastic Wooders joined hands to convert the decrepit wasteland into a green oasis.
The work began as early as 2nd of June when 7 volunteers took up the tough task of cleaning the park and making it fit for de-weeding. From polybags to clothes, we discarded a LOT of stuff!
De-weeding and digging was undertaken on the 4th and 15 volunteers were partners in getting muddy!
At 8 am in the morning on Saturday, the 'greening' commenced! It wasn't easy work, but it was a lot of fun. The Wooders did everything themselves, from digging plots to making tree-guards out of bamboo and wire mesh! It is a mark of the Wooders fervor that the entire drive was done in less than 3 hours!
The impact was immediate. We had support coming in from the local residents and government officials. The RWA of Green Park Extension is completely on board with our campaign. Even the MCD has sent in caretakers and is willing to regulate the water supply to the Park.
The work is not over though. We have to have all engines firing to meet our target of 3000 trees this monsoon and would appreciate all the help we can get. Delhi would appreciate it too.
Imagine Maharaja Agrasena Park 20 years later, it will be worth the toil!

Yamunostav is an annual celebration of World Environment Day organized by Swechha. This year, it was hosted in partnership with Nokia Siemens Networks at India Habitat Center.
Monsoon Wooding was a big part of this event and we distributed 400 trees! The event was a confluence of music, art and innovation. The music was spell bounding with artists like Raghu Dixshit, Valentine Shipley(Parikrama & Silk Route), Rahul Ram(Indian Ocean) and Surojit Dev (Them Clones) performing. Speeches by Ms. Sunita Narain( Director of the Centre and the director of the Society for Environmental Communications) and Ms. Meena Gupta(Secretary, MOEF) it re-enforced the importance of our environment in the minds of the entire crowd.
Monsoon Wooding spread the word about all their activities on this day and gathered even more Wooders!

Friday's event was fantastic!
Watching 'Wasted', the journey of our city's waste, was really eye-opening. The movie had a huge impact and was followed by a discussion on Delhi's poorly executed waste disposal system. As discussions often do, it led the Wooders into an interesting conversation about several things including the true meaning of 'Urban Development'.
Is a city developed when it has posh societies, tall buildings and rich citizens even though it has no place to put all the waste generated by them?
As time flew by, all the volunteers moved to Khan Market to begin our second de-nailing drive. Like the last one it had great impact! the volunteers attacked all the nail and copper with much enthusiasm and the trees around Khan Market were proudly declared nail-free!

The Wooders met at Khan Market on 24 May to garner support for their campaign. We distributed close to 200 saplings. But more importantly we talked to an even larger number of people about Monsoon Wooding and the driving force behind it. In the process we managed to gain an insight about what the citizens of Delhi think about infrastructure developement and the consequent damage to the environment.
While one lady was completely opposed to Delhi Metro and felt that improving the present public transport system would have sufficed to ease traffic problems in Delhi, another gentleman had a completely contrary view. He felt that felling trees was inevitable if we wanted Delhi to be a world class city. Getting to know so many diverging views was quite an experience!
While our volunteers spread around the market distributing saplings and talking to people, Vimlendu Jha (Founder and Executive Director, Swechha) and Sunny Verma (Program Co-ordinator) moved through the market singing songs about change and social responsibility. They attracted a large audience and forced even the most disintersted shoppers to abandon their indifference.
It was a very successful event, covered by NDTV, and we came back home knowing there are lots of kindred wooders loose in the city!
Buoyed by the success of the De-nailing Drive at GK I, the Wooders congregated at the Swechha office on 19 May to discuss the future course of the Monsoon Wooding campaign.
It was decided that the next event will be held at Khan Market on 24 May. Along with de-nailing the trees in the vicinity, the Wooders will also give out approximately 200 saplings of Golden Duranda amongst several other varities of leafy plants.
We also decided the dates for one of the most exciting and interesting activities of Monsoon Wooding 2008 - The Road Campaign! This would entail selling of saplings at major Traffic Signals of Delhi. The Road Campaign will start from 26 May, when the first round of selling 'Trees at Traffic' will go underway . Watch this space for more information on Trees at Traffic.
Wooders With the Saplings
Getting Ready to Sell
De-nailing in progress
Fighting 'Plier' and Nail!
A Tree to Lean on...
Monsoon Wooding launched its first de-nailing drive on the 16th of May, in and around the M block market in GK I.
The objective was twofold: one to remain within the main market, giving out saplings as tokens to spread awareness and the other to move from tree to tree freeing them from nails, wires or barbed fences.
Our first target was a nasty barbed fence wound around several Ashoka trees. The bark of the tree had grown around the wire and it was so entrenched that taking it out took more than an hour. While a group worked on these trees, the rest of us spread out to go further into the residential parts of that area.
We encountered challenges of varying degrees from 6 inch nails to resilient posters, but we received tremendous help from shopkeepers, taxi drivers and auto rickshaw drivers.
We met after our de-nailing efforts in the market's central park and proceeded to give out our token saplings and spread the word. The GK shoppers were very supportive and we were soon out of plants!
It turned out to be an excellent event with a lot of support from volunteers and concerned citizens of Delhi!
Our first General Body Meeting of Monsoon Wooding 2008 was held at the Amphitheater, India Habitat Centre (New Delhi) on 14 May 2008. We had sent invites to people on Facebook and through word of mouth. It was heartening to see that despite the heat, around 25 enthusiastic volunteers turned up to brainstorm on how to initiate the campaign and take it forward.
After everyone introduced themselves, Vimlendu (Founder & Executive Director, Swechha) initiated the discussion by briefing everyone about the salient features and purpose of Monsoon Wooding.
We formed committees to plan and execute the various activities. We also discussed in detail, the first event of Monsoon Wooding 2008 - De-nailing trees around M-Block Market at GK I. This is a very posh and elite shopping area and a favorite hangout for the teenyboppers and college students. We also decided to sell saplings to people at GK I to spread the message of Monsoon Wooding and to raise funds for subsequent events. The meeting concluded on a high note with promises of support and active participation by all those present there.
‘There is so no such thing as a free lunch.’ One of the basic tenets of Economics (implying that there is an opportunity cost attached to everything); this is epitomized in the rapid infrastructure development Delhi is witnessing at the moment. The Delhi Metro, preparations for the Commonwealth Games, construction of flyovers, are a step in the right direction towards making Delhi a world class city. But, this comes at a HUGE cost.
29, 360 trees have been felled so far to make way for the Delhi Metro. 7, 508 are about to meet the same fate. Delhi’s green cover is 10.2%, way below the minimum requirement of 33%. There is only one tree left for every 350 people in Delhi.
In an attempt to restore Delhi’s green cover, Monsoon Wooding was launched in 2005 by Sweccha-We for Change foundation. It aims to bring together volunteers who wish to see Delhi’s tree cover expand and to give them a platform to realize their plans.
Because we also want trees in our world class city.
Our course of action is outlined by the 3 P’s:
PLANT – anywhere, everywhere!
PROTECT – trees that have been reduced to billboards.
PROMOTE – tree welfare, because knowledge is power!
Through our initiatives we plan to achieve the following –
1. Planting a target number of trees to make up for those lost in the name of development.
2. Saving existing trees from dying out and ensuring their protection.
3. Sensitizing the youth and the rest of the civil society of Delhi about the seriousness of Delhi’s depleting green cover.
4. Building a huge network of young volunteers who are ready to come forward and participate in similar environmental campaigns as and when the need arises.
5. Attracting the State’s attention towards the efforts of young people and convincing it to take necessary steps to create a greener Delhi.

Getting Involved:
There are several ways in which you can help make Delhi a little greener!
What YOU can do everyday
1. Planting and nurturing a tree requires about a minute a day and a mug of water, plant a new one!
2. Adopt a tree and save it from damage such as nailing, tiling and concretization around its bark.
3. Tell us of areas where trees are under duress and help restore the damage by funding a tree plantation.
4. Be aware and spread awareness!

What we can do together – Volunteering
1. Saving trees
Nailing trees harms trees in more than one way. Nails harm tissues that are responsible for transporting water and nutrients. They also open up wounds that are extremely susceptible to pests. Also, copper from the nail gets converted to copper sulphate which is extremely poisonous for the tree.
You will find many such trees in commercial areas like GK and Green Park where advertisements have been hung from trees. We plan to go and denail such trees and in the process spread awareness about this issue.
2. Planting trees.
To make up for the shocking number of trees that have been cut down, we plan to carry out the following:
1. Plantation Drives: In the Delhi Ridge, in school and college campuses, in local parks, etc. In short, anywhere and everywhere
2. Creation of Model Parks: Most localities in Delhi have neglected playgrounds and land lying waste. We will transform them into lush & innerving centers of greenery.
3. Creation of Oxygen Belts: Rubbish Heaps are an eyesore. So, to remedy that we will garner large numbers and convert these into thriving oxygen belts.
