Pune Tree Fest : 25th September to 2nd October

Dear Nature Lovers,

The Pune Tree fest is an attempt to draw attention to the trees and greenery around us in the city of Pune during one focused week. The idea is to celebrate our trees – through poetry, art, walks, theatre, public meetings and knowledge-sharing about activities like composting, organic farming, tree tagging, tree names, etc. through small events at various locales in the city, rather than any big centralized events.

Several Pune groups have come together for this venture – Open Space, Pune Tree Watch, oikos for ecological services, CREDAI, Garden Department of Pune, Ecological Society, Green Hills Group, Jividha, One Life Club Panchavati, Kalpavriksh, Rotary club of Poona West, amongst others, as well as interested individuals and schools – colleges like Symbiosis Arts & Commerce students who are gifting their time and expertise to the venture.

You all are invited for various events being organized during this week. Be present & spread a word with others.
