Monsoon Wooding 2009 successfully kicked off with a Sapling Distribution Drive at Khan Market on June 11, 2009. Before the drive the volunteers gathered together for a short brainstorming session.
Despite the Heat, around 30 volunteers gathered to distribute close to 150 saplings of Putranjiva or the Lucky Bean Tree to raise money for subsequent events. Most importantly we got to talk to a large number of people about the campaign.
It turned to be an excellent event with a lot of support from the volunteers and was the perfect beginning to Monsoon Wooding-09.
After the success of the Distribution Drive, the Wooders gathered at the Ashoka Park in New Friends Colony at 6 o' clock in the morning for this year's first plantation drive. It wasn't easy to dig pits and plant trees, but it turned out to be a lot of fun.
It was hearting to see the response we got from local residents who came in large numbers to support the event. In less than 3 hours we successfully planted 50 saplings of Gulmohur and Alestonia. The RWA of New Friends Colony is very supportive of our campaign and have ensured us that they would take care of the trees post the plantation.
The Work is not over though, this city needs a lot more greens. Please call us or email us to let us know if your locality, school or college can take in a few new saplings. We also need as many volunteers as possible, do join the Wooders in our future events and Drives.
The campaign plans to get bigger and better this year with aim to plant atleast 5,000 trees in Delhi!

The Department of Environment and Forest, Government of NCT of Delhi, is organizing Plantation Drive at Najafgarh Drain (Chawla Village) on 28th June, 2008, 10.30 A.M. Hon’ble Chief Minister will be the Chief Guest.
Monsoon Wooding and and its volunteers have been invited by the Department to join this plantation.

Its our chance to save our city!

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 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!

Monsoon Wooding is all geared up for its first plantation drive of 2008!
The target area is Maharaja Agrasena Park in Green Park Market. On the 7th June, Swechha and Monsoon Wooding would like the support of all their volunteers as we aim to plant over 50 trees! This plantation also has the support of Accenture and its employees who will join in the planting process.
The park is barren and littered. A few Wooders have been on a cleaning mission and the park is being readied for new plantations.
Please lend us your hands and show your solidarity with Delhi!
