TSKN – Adopt a Tree Initiative
Guidance Notes for Tree Guardians
Thank you for participating in the Adopt a Tree Initiative. Your commitment to nurturing a sapling over the next three years will help create a greener and healthier Kalyani Nagar for future generations.
Distribution
● Saplings will be distributed between 10:00 a.m. and 12:00 noon only.
One Sapling Per Participant
● To ensure that everyone has an opportunity to participate, only one sapling will be issued per participant.
Registration
● Before collecting your sapling, please enter your name and contact details in the registration register at the RRC.
Tree Species
● The saplings being distributed are native shade trees that are well suited to Pune’s climate and help improve biodiversity.
● Species include Karanj, Bakul, and Putranjiva (Putravati), all of which provide valuable shade, enhance the local environment, and support urban greenery.
Planting Guidelines
● Plant the sapling in a pit approximately 3 feet deep.
● Protect the sapling with a sturdy tree guard to prevent damage from animals, vehicles, or accidental impact.
● Maintain a minimum distance of 6 feet from existing trees or other newly planted saplings to allow healthy growth.
Choosing the Right Location
● Select a planting site that is within easy reach of your home or workplace, enabling you to monitor its health regularly.
● During the dry months, ensure the sapling receives adequate watering and basic care until it is well established.
Remember: The true success of this initiative will not be measured by the number of saplings planted, but by the number that survive, flourish, and grow into healthy trees. Thank you for becoming a Tree Guardian and helping create a greener Kalyani Nagar.
