Swechha has been running Monsoon Wooding, our annual environment campaign for over a decade now. Youth, media, government and civil society have been actively engaged by us on issues of social and environmental development. Our green efforts range from waste upcycling and environmental fellowship programs to river clean-ups and creation of urban mini forests. We have planted and maintained over 60,000 trees with a survival rate of almost 90 %.
For the last 10 years, Swechha has been maintained a community park in Rock View Apartments in Vasant Kunj. In the year 2016, we formally adopted the park from the MCD and have actively worked on developing the space into a model ‘Airshed’ that would act as the lungs of the community near by. In the last 10 years, we have planted and survived over 10,000 native trees, herbs and shrubs within the park.
This year, we intend to keep the same energy and vibrance of the campaign going. Monsoon Wooding has always been a volunteer driven campaign, piloted by the citizens of Delhi itself. So this #MonsoonWooding, we ask you to join hands and help us make Delhi breathe a little better. For this, we ask for a minimum contribution of Rs 500 per sapling which will be directed towards
- Identification , planning and design of the sites of plantation
- Procurement of the saplings. We only procure native trees that are suitable to Delhi’s climate.
- Procurement of manure, mulch etc
- Transportation of the saplings
- Procurement and transportation of the equipment required to carry out the plantation
- Pre plantation activities ( making the pits for the saplings to be planted- labour cost and equipment)
- Volunteer mobilisation and engagement
- Maintenance and evaluation
- Advocacy initiatives to put pressure on the government to protect the existing green cover of Delhi and Gurgaon
This Monsoon, adopt a tree or two and make Delhi green! Every tree matters.
