Me & Tree
Me & Tree as the name suggest is tree plantation initiative which is undertaken by a group of people from satara city.
The campaign is a two fold program.
1.We have approached schools in satara city and are going to plant few trees in their respective campuses.The school authorities will further encourage their students to maintain the planted as a part of their social activity.This would ensure that planted trees would grow and create a awareness among the students.
2.We have chosen a barren mountain,surrounding the city were we have planned to plant trees.
Bhava.Awala,Gulmohar,Ashok,Jambun are the tress which we have chosen for the plantation.Cost of a small sapling of any of the above costs Rs.5/- each and well grown sapling of any of the above costs Rs.25/-(as inquired in the government nursery near D.G.College,Satara)
Small saplings could be planted in school campuses as they would be taken care of,but the saplings planted at the mountain will largely be at mercy of nature so we have thought of planting well grown saplings at the mountain which increases their probability of growing up without being taken care of.
We have planned to plant 50 small saplings(50x5=Rs.250) 50 well grown saplings(50x25=1250) on 30th august 09(approximate total cost=250+1250+500(transportation+labour charge)=Rs2000/-)).
This initiative is taken by Ameya Bhagwat,Rajeshwar Kasar and myself Pushkar Firodiya.Anybody who would like to join the Me & Tree Campaign could do it in following ways:
1.Suggest a place(currently only in/around satara city) where tree plantation is necessary.
2.Contribute for the campaign(Minimum amount Rs.50/- please make them before 25th august)[All the details of the expenditure will be posted after the campaign is over.If the funds grow more then the required amount the number of sapling to be planted will increase]
3.Spread the word: tell about Me & tree to anybody you think would like to join us.
For making a monetary contribution you can sms "donate" to 9890077099 and we will get back to you or call Ameya Bhagwat : 9096142510 anytime.
