Local Plant Nursery
One of the environmental challenges in many rural areas is the growth of invasive non-local plant species. The goal of this specific project was to build a nursery for native plants and then to plant saplings in the local hills. We supported this project through fundraising and mobilized a team of students from Rishi Valley School to plant tree saplings in the local area. The nursey continues to function and support tree planting activities in the area.
A low cost nursery was built and maintained to grow native plant species. The WaterSphere initiative helped to fund and support the project.
This initiative was very important in ensuring that invasive non-local species did not displace the native plants.
Students from Rishi Valley School helped as volunteers in planting tree saplings.
