Wish you all had a great time welcoming the new year- 2010 !
I pray this new year bring lots of health and Happiness in your lives and keep on inspiring us to contribute to society in our own humble ways.
As posted earlier, regarding the Green Gurgaon Campaign (G Square),where we have an aim to plant some 6000 trees on a land allocated by district forest authorities, we are currently facing a problem.
All was well and went as per plan till we were faced with the "Bluebull menance" in Hindi its 'Neel guy' which affected out plantations severely.On a pilot basis we planted nearly 250 tree's in OCT 2009 with almost 100% survival rate.
So, in order to plant more trees and protect them we need tree gaurds to ensure their viabilty.Please note we would not be able to fence the land as the Authorities there are having reservation on it (though fencing of such a big land itself is costly affair ) however they are fine if we go ahead with individual tree gaurds .
So now the options available are:
1. Either we use the Iron made tree guards - Will be cheap but will rust out in few months and we would not be able to use again some where else.
2. We use the concrete made tree guards - Durable but Fragile (for resuse) - Cosltly (Around Rs 1400/Tree) and difficult to implement on this scale .
3.Removing the BlueBulls would not be advisable as only way they can be shiped is by first tranquilising them ,but they are very week at heart and they die out of Shock.So Forest Deptt. people have ruled out this option out of their past experience.
SO I REQUEST YOU ALL TO COME UP WITH SOME INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS W.R.T TO THE TREE GUARDS which are CHEAP- DURABLE - REUSEABLE and LOGISTICALLY PRACTICAL FOR 6000 TREES OR REFER US TO THE SOURCE FOR FURTHER INFORMATION !
