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!
