The Saplings all packed and ready!

From Madhavaram the team came back to Chennai, at Horticulture nursery, to pick saplings for distribution inside Chennai city!

Samuel Eddy,along with the Organisers, Rajasekar Nonburaj and Magesh. Eddy was a planter for almost 15 years, helped in picking up the right saplings.

I have not seen so much greenery inside Chennai city!

Lots of fresh air, different sounds of birds.

And drizzling,It was really a much needed break!


The saplings collected from Horticulture centre, kept at Housing Board colony at Royapetah, Saplings eagerly waiting to get picked!

Within 10 minutes people came and collected the saplings!

Good to see the saplings planted!And come July its going to be even Bigger, Better and lot more Greener!

The Sapling Project is back!

Met this wonderful person Mr. Sugavanam. His motto is, to make paper we destroy the forest, lets destroy the paper and make the forest, what an idea Sirji!



His business card is a unique one (same as his name) made out of so called waste paper.



The card says " Reuse paper save forest"
