Over 1000 local and indigenous plants were planted by entire Kumar Builders family on in the presence of several dignitaries like Mayor Rajalakshmi Bhosale, Municipal Commissioner Praveensinh Pardeshi and Prakash Thosare, director of Social Forestry. They all took an oath for environment protection. Trees of 67 different species were planted at the 2.5 acre plot located at Hadapsar. Everyone who planted a tree, his name and date of plantation will be marked on it. These saplings will form part of a unique environment park to promote indigenuos plants. "It is an urban quality garden patch, in terms of environment conservation and protection. The park is a patch where we will be planting those species which will support birds, butterflies, insects and reptiles,' said Kruti Kumar Jain, executive director, Kumar Builders, who welcomed the dignitaries. Jui Dongre of Kumar Builders spoke on the importance of preserving the environment. Once the Environment Park is ready, it will be a landmark destination in the city. There will be a location map indicating which species is planted at that place. This environment park will be completely natural. Even the leaves that will fall here, will not be swept away. There will be a bird pond, which will be approx. 20ft x 20ft., in order to attract birds into it. Natural bird nests will also be made and provided in the trees. Drip irrigation will be provided for the plants and there will be vermiculture composting in one corner of the park. Solar energy will be used to power the lights in the park. The park will be open to the public soon, but they will be advised not to disturb the birds and the natural settings.
