Guidelines for tree planting and maintenance

• Plant only one sapling per pit
• Plant with ball of earth intact
• Plant saplings during monsoon
• Give spacing based on canopy spread
• Protect saplings against scorching sun with organic covers (paddy or wheat straw, banana leaves, etc.)
• Protect from grazing animals using tree guards
• Prune the tree to create the required framework
• Feed the trees regularly with organic manures

Trees are not just a wise investment but are also ‘living memorials’. Let us dedicate ourselves to the care and preservation of trees because "the very air we breathe is improved by the presence of trees."
