Tree plantation at Vassthubhoomi. Sept 8th 2012

Vassthubhoomi layout is planned in area of around 2 acres in Seegehalli, Whitefield. Residents are interested to have plants in the low rainfall area with bird and insect attracting trees. With a couple of field visits and interaction with residents we identified the location of plantings and made markings to dig the pits. The idea is to support birds like Drangos, Bulbul, Common bee eaters which has supporting trees in neighboring layouts with trees. After digging the pits and moistened the pits, we purchased saplings and provided a demonstration of how to do plantation.

 

Various benefits of trees and features of sapling species were explained. This idea is for transferring the knowledge to volunteers, so that they will be learnt and experienced to take up another tree plantation as lead. We planted 42 saplings with variety of Singapore cherry, Akasha mallige, basavanapada, Honge, Bangali gida in the pits and watered the plants. Trees were supported with sticks to grow vertically. LIFE will be monitoring the saplings and will replace if any of the saplings need replacement due to damage/disease.

Residents and children of Vaasthubhoomi layout were participated with LIFE volunteers like Deepak, Neha, Prasanna etc. 

Tree plantation at Gunjur social forest with EMC

Life has conducted tree plantation event at Gunjur social forest with sponsorship from EMC.

The event was conducted on May 22nd and 23rd with participation of more than 50 volunteers along with the Joy of giving week program. Also, this marked 1st tree plantation event in the Forest department Bengaluru, East and South Zone.

Plantation was conducted at Gunjur Social forest with guidance and support from RFO Ganesh V planting with variety of native saplings like, Neem, Honge, Fig, jumbu nerale, Naaye nerale and hippe species. These species were selected to promote local biodiversity to support various birds like Drangos, Cormorants,  egrets, cranes, red vented bulbuls, barn owl, kingfishers, green bee eaters, Ashley prinia, cuckoos, bees and insects. It is important to have a man made social forest along the city outskirts to provide natural habitats.

A demo was given to each batch of volunteers and encouraged to plant further, 200 pits were dug and was a easy task for the team to organize themselves. Each pit was moistened for easy penetration for the roots with a bucket of water, sapling were tied to pole ensure grow vertically, and then pit was closed by making small water collection area around the sapling during rain.

Once planting is done, watering will be done to all the saplings. Further, pictures will be uploaded in Google Picasa in the link mentioned below.

Team work was exhibited and female volunteers have done their physical task indeed well. We had interesting conversation with various question on events, eco consciousness to understand aspects on biodiversity.

On the 1st day around 80 saplings were planted and on the 2nd day remaining saplings were planted.

Ganesh V; RFO, KFD officials; Nagaraja and Balakrishna, Gopal; Forest guard, Shivananje Gowda; helper were present and coordinated.

From EMC around 50 volunteers (names not recorded) with key coordinators like Divya Sen, Prince Benjamin and Lath Swamy were present.

Tree plantation at Kaggaladu

Project Tree plantation at Kaggaladu, Kaggaladu, Sira taluk, Tumkur district
Trees planted: 50 numbers
Date: 20-July-2008


This is one of the dream projects since inception in February 2008, which is slightly different from other projects.Kaggaladu is small village with 25 houses, near Sira taluk, on the way to Changapura. Main occupation and the source of income is agriculture for the people depending on rain. Although the village has interconnected 2 lakes for serving the purpose, the lakes rarely fills up.But the main point of attraction is this is a bird sanctuary. Variety of species of birds like Painted storks, Black ibis, Spot billed pelicans, Grey herons, Pelicans, Baya weaver and many more are main habitats in this area, apart from sparrows and crows. These birds are migrating and come from different places of the world. These birds visit this village from January and lay eggs, and feed their young ones, help to grow and in the month of June July they start their next destination. Amazingly birds wish to live on tamarind trees, as this can support lot of weight and easy to build nest due to tamarind tree structure. Most of the tamarind trees are within the village. The main food for these birds is fish from the nearby lakes.KFD, Karnataka Forest Department has identified this as a bird sanctuary, but hardly you will get information. Even you don’t find a sign post to reach Kaggaladu, unless you ask by-passers. Couples of years back, KFD official were available at this village to help these birds by feeding fish, but this is diminishing. But these birds are part of daily life of the villagers and villagers are very interested to see more bird arriving. A primary school welcomes you to the village.We visited this place for the feasibility of tree plantations, identifying planting location and met village leaders for their support for our project. This happened in 16-June-2008. Remember, local support is very important.On 20-july-2008, we started from Bangalore with 60 saplings and 6 volunteers to Kaggaladu. We reached the village around 1030 hours. First thing we met village leaders for their support and discussed our idea and. We met Jnansindu, HK Raju and Shankarappa who are the village panchayath members. Later we received acceptable support from the local people. Digging tools were borrowed and we planted approximately 10 numbers of jack fruit saplings in the school premises mainly for the shade. This was done to promote other variety of tree to grow which requires minimum supervision. Later we planted remaining 45 saplings of tamarind across various places in the village. Children were more interested than elders. (Young buds proved they don’t think commercially) we finished all the plantings. These trees need deeper pit, as the roots should be firmly holding earth. Surprisingly villagers wanted more saplings to plant at their premises; it is good to see someone is willing to come forward to plant a tree. By this time, work was completely managed by kids! We provided fence with the Jaali trees.During planting time, a person objected to plant a sapling, digging deep the matter, he disclosed the place belongs to him and he want to chop off a existing tamarind tree, were birds are nesting. We all gathered to convince him and to alter his house building plans. Also KFD is providing money per year for the landlord, if the nesting tree belongs in his private land. We put all efforts to convince him. We wish to see the tree during our next visit. Also Levin provided very good advice to villagers on cost saving building house techniques, how to prepare best manure within village…and so on.By this time, we were exhausted; we finished our parcel plate Idlis and started by 1530hours. At the end of the day we had a satisfaction that, we did something better.Volunteers; Harsha, Levin, Albert, Retish, Balasubramaniam, Sharavan (RNSIT)

Tree plantation at Al-Ameen school

Project: Tree plantation at Al-Ameen school, Malur road, Hoskaote:
Trees planted: 200 numbersDate: 12-July-2008
About the school:-Al-Ameeen school is located on the Malur road, Hosakate. This has primary to higher school and also has separate hostel facility for boys and girls. Students form various places are studying here including economically poor. School administration identifies the financial background of student and provides free hostel and education. The school campus is pretty big with 30 acres. Headmaster was very eager to provide space for planting sapling in their premises.
About our work:-The plan was to plant 200 saplings along with students, and to create awareness with our volunteers and involving with them.As the school campus has huge area, the buildings like teacher’s room, class room, boy’s hostel, girl’s hostel and a mosque are located distantly and well planned. As the space availability and ownership is positive, we planned to have variety of trees like fruit bearing, flower bearing, shade purpose trees. For which the flora and fauna will have a room in this area.The feasibility for the project and responsibility of saplings were discussed with head master during previous visit on 5 July 2008.By the time at 930AM, we have selected variety of saplings.Our hired tempo traveler arrived at 10 AM with 13 enthusiastic volunteers. We packed all the saplings to TT and started towards the school.With the help of school administrative, the future building plans were discussed to have proper understanding of the area. By the time Levin along with students started to mark the place for saplings. Harsha and Prashanth were planning to which plant go on which side, like flower bearing and small trees round the office surroundings. Medium –large trees on the path ways, fruit bearing trees around the living area, medium flower bearing trees around the play ground and large trees around the mosque.By this time all our volunteers had arrived. We had few digging tools and we borrowed few from school administration. School children were eagerly waiting to feel the experience. In fact we had difficulty to handle overwhelming students in a sudden!All trees were segregated and handled with our volunteers. And each volunteer will be taking few students for the further process.Our volunteers explained the type of sapling we had, and their benefits along with the importance of conserving our ecology. Also volunteers demonstrated how to hold the tool, how much deep the pit should have, how to plant the sapling, putting back the soil for a small water holding basin. We were finishing almost all areas simultaneously. It was wonder to see kids fighting to plant their trees and watering with love as if the planted saplings were their asset.Sun was spilling his heat at noon.Now it was lunch time. By the time of 200PM, we had left with very few saplings. And planted remaining saplings around the kids play area in the school campus. Headmaster convinced to have lunch and continue, but we wanted to finish our task. In the meanwhile few volunteers were assisting to watering the plants.Now most of us were feeling thirsty and hungry. One of the volunteer shared few TIGER biscuits. Later we had lunch with head master. We had Tomato bath and curd rice at the boy’s hostel.At 400PM we concluded with planting all saplings. We captured few photographs with students with note of thanks to the school staff.Following are the type of saplings we planted.

Tree plantation at Jadigenahalli

more pictures : http://picasaweb.google.co.in/life.trust.blr/Jadegenahalli#

Trees planted: 200 numbers
Date: 24-May-2008
Morning was pleasant, and the breeze was special…Sun rose to a perfect harmony as the volunteers moved towards Hosakote. Some reached early, some late. Some came prepared, and some didn’t. However, it didn’t dither them from doing their bit to address the major problem of the planet today, the global warming.The barren and neglected land that was selected for sapling plantation program was on the outskirts of a village called Jadigena halli, some 7KMs off Hosakote. The saplings were bought by volunteers for a reasonable price at the white field forest department nursery. The saplings varied from floral to fashionable to the fruiting ones. The variety also ranged from plants that would eventually grow to a few feet to the ones those grow to a few meters. The varied saplings were selected that added to some 200 in numbers.The Singapore cherries, people tree, the guava, Jack fruits, flowering plants, kadamba plants and so on.As we entered the lands where the plantation had to happen, we observed some pits graved by a JCB machine a few days ago. The first task cut out for us was to fill these huge pits at least by 50% to make our saplings sit quiet in there. And we began the day of plantings by planting a people tree.A few villagers were all geared up to accompany the city lads in this task unusual. With the able guidance of experienced people in our team, and the village guys as well, within 2 hours we could cover a vast area that was empty earlier with the plants that we carried.Volunteers participated in the drive with utmost interest and with a sensational spirit that was infective. Villagers were happy to see us indulge in the country activity and were beaming with huge smiles. They were pretty impressed, and were committed to growing the plants to make them trees in the near future.The village had a brand new temple that was inaugurated a couple of weeks before our visit. It is a very big and a beautiful temple of Karagadamma devi. Our next halt was at the temple, and the remaining 50 and odd plants were to be planted around here. The villagers too joined hands making our jobs easier and saving a lot of time. Here we planted fruiting sapling in abundance, with a few flowering and a few kadamba plants.The enthusiastic 30+ volunteers, if not anything else, were successful in inspiring a whole village to maintain the forest around them, and grow more trees.A vole of satisfaction ruled over all the faces of those volunteered that day. After getting freshened up at a well nearby, the team headed back to the temple, took part in a special pooja of the Goddess and had prasada with contention.A sumptuous “ragi mudde oota” was waiting for all the tired souls that day at a neighboring house. All relished the food with brim thankfulness.Before ending the note on our first ever plantation drive, I’d like to thank all those who made the program a grand success; the volunteers especially took their time off to present themselves with a satisfaction of being a part of a social awareness community. The program was organized and arranged by Swapna in association with Madhu, special thanks to the both of them. Next to the villagers who were supporting us right from the beginning till the very end to make it a startling beginning of the plantation season.Last and not the least the two families those were responsible for the program themselves, one the family of Mrs. & Mr. Prakash who, being a village chieftain permitted us to plant in the land belonging to him, as well as around the temple. He not only permitted us to go ahead, but also stood there instructing us, guiding us to go in a right direction.Another family that stood as a backbone for the whole event, without whom we couldn’t have even dreamt of being there here are Mrs. and Mr. Shivabasaiah Badnimath. They also arranged for the sumptuous food that we relished later in the evening.We hope and wish that we be a cause and part of hundreds of such events and occasions further in the coming days.
