Mission Green Burari, Vriksh Mitra Parivaar in North Delhi
We started this activity just an year before when I started conservation of birds 🦅 in my location. Me & my friend Mr Ravindra Tyagi both started this in 2016. We each morning walk every day and carry 5 liter of water & grains, pulses, some local fruits like Guavas in a small bag. We choose 2 trees every day and fix plastic mug on little height and fill water. Also place some grains for birds & pieces of fruits for squirrels which are found often there. Soon we started getting attention of other gentlemen who also took part in this with us happily. We discussed among and start plantation as in our area as you people might know Kikar tress are in large quantity, which are not bird attraction. In 2017 we decided to grow more trees 🌳 like Jamun, Pilkhan, Peepal, Bad etc which can attract local birds to make their shelters. Now till date in last 1 year, we have planted more than 250 trees in which around 230 got lives. Might be our numbers are less but we do plantation & adaptation as we don’t have any number target, we slowly make it more effective with protection of other trees which are planted by others. By February we are donating free 🌷 flower & vegetable plants to near by residents to make them part of green living. As till June Tree plantation 🌳 is not good. We also visit schools and demonstrate students about environmental issues, invite them to protect plants & nature. Lot of things we have in plan like empowering local people through terrace gardening etc. We are also visit Yamuna bank to clean hazardous stuff during festivals when people comes with idols & other.

How to use bamboo for plantation purpose. Kindly guide plz
Like which soil suits the best for this type of plantation
______
But i needed to know how to use bamboos to grow the plants and related things like kinda soil etc.
______
It’s similar to sugarcane farming…You need to put a piece of bamboo (with joints) under the moist soil…Or you can keep it dipped in water for few weeks till it starts developing roots
It can be grown in any kind of soil as it adapts well but water logged areas are most suitable as it can turn that wastewater into biomass. Bamboo will also happily receive gray water from your house.

Oh great piece of information thanks a million.

But we must keep in mind that despite its many advantages bamboo is not used by many communities because it is used to make ‘arthies’ for the last rites.
