Manasvi testing the new transport vehicle

As we need transportation for soil, seeds, seed balls and saplings in Maharashtra and Gujarat, Earth Reforest System bought a used Jeep. The transfer papers for the Jeep are currently being processed by the authorities and will be ready within a month. After this we will be able to drive the vehicle on Maharashtra‘s roads. We purchased an additional battery for the case of break down. I was already practicing driving with a friend in Pune‘s city traffic and also on the highway.

We have bought a heap of soil from a farm for our tree nursery. The soil will be filled in small plastic bags together with a seed to grow the plants. Soil is also needed for making seed balls. Apurva Soni is helping us with this in the afternoons.
