Tree planting in EPIP Area, Whitefield June 7th

Whitefield EIP area has changed a lot in last 15 years, lost few lakes, brisk development. We added few trees to this area, where some patches can be made green.
Planted around 16 saplings surroundings of Novo Nordisk mainly with help of Vinay, Novo Nordisk employee and his colleagues. Few volunteers joined too. We planted on roadsides to have greenery and to provide shades. Some plants were planted in revious pits where saplings died. A simple and efficient fence were made of poles and watered on same day.
Due to less rains this year, further watering done and happy to see the saplings adjusted them selves to new location and started sprouting.
