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...

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.
It would fantastic if we could contribute to this plantation and the best way to do that is to gather in large numbers! Please do extend your support to this cause and join the Government in its efforts to compensate for Delhi's depleting green reserves.
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!
