The Treenitiative

Have you ever reflected how a massiv tree can fit into a small seed or pod? This is miraculous! Some seeds are feather light – they weigh a fraction of a gram only and yet they bear the blueprint for a future tree which weighs tens of tons!

Manasvi went on a Tour to northern India to proceed seeds for our project nursery and for the manufacture of seed balls which are deployed freely on suitable lands.

Here his Manasvis short report:

Pune to Dehradun *.Date:24/06/2009 to 1/7/2009

I went to Delhi to buy seeds for trees on 24/06/2009. I arrived at Delhi after a 30 hours Journey. After that I stayed one night to take rest in a hotel.

On second day I travelled by bus from Delhi to Dehradun. I reached Dehradun at 5:30 P.M., I met a shop owner over there and asked him to sell me seeds in small quantity. He was not ready to sell in small quantity but I insisted. Finally I could convince him for small quantity. He gave me 28 kinds of seeds. I bought 20 kg seeds.

That night again I stayed in a Hotel. Next day I went to the forest and I met a person there. I got information from him, on how to grow certain trees in the forest. That night I left Dehradun and back to Delhi. After that I travelled from Delhi to Jaipur, Ahmadabad and to Pune. The 20 kg.seeds box was with me all the way.

It was 4000 km journey to buy seeds. That was my journey.
After I came back to Pune I feel I did good job.
