From barren land into woodland, in 18 years
The Hindu
Nature lover transforms a 1.5-acre site with 13 trees to one with 1,000-odd trees, many of them rare
Away from the urban din and bustle, a nature lover has quietly transformed a barren land to a mini-forest on his homestead at Madakkimala, nearly 10 km away here. P.M. Nandakumar bought one-and-a-half acres of barren land nearly 18 years ago, with a total of 13 trees in it. Now, the site harbours 1,000-odd trees in 164 species. Thirty-seven of the species come under the rare, endemic, and threatened category.More Related News
