In our quest to make Uttarakhand a model “green” State, a tree conference was held at Parmarth Niketan Ashram on the 20th of May. Graced by the presence of Pujya Swami Chidanand Saraswatiji, top experts in the field came together, including: Acharya Balkrishanji, Jagat Singh Choudhary “Jangli”, Dr H. Bisht, Dr K.Chauhan, Dr D. Purohit, Dr V.P. Bhatt, Dr M. Panwar, Prof. R. Shankar, Dr R.Rastogi and Shri P. Vasta.
These experts, who have been involved in conservation, ecological restoration, and education work in various areas across the state, came together to discuss and develop action plans for tree plantation in identified areas, including Gangotri, Tehri, Rishikesh and Haridwar. As the rainy season draws near, we look forward to seeing lots of lovely green saplings being planted along the banks of our Mother Ganga!
