Hindustan TimesThe forest department will develop a garden on five acres of land near Van Bhavan next to Nakshatra Garden. N R Praveen, chief conservator of forest, in a press conference on Thursday, said, “The department will plant indigenous trees with the help of volunteers. People will be able to track the plantation with their name tag and can visit the garden at any time of the year.” “The garden will not only help in increasing green cover but also for conserving the forest land from encroachment and waste dumping,” said Deepak Pawar, assistant conservator of forest, Pune division. Those unable to take the tree sapling home, can donate their sapling to our Vrukshathon Garden, where we will care for it for years to come, said Tushar Chavan, deputy conservator of forest, Pune forest division.
