First Urban Forest in Country to be set In Kolkata

Humans have often taken mother Earth for granted; the sudden rise of temperature especially in winter season, is the result of pollution. To stop any further damage, a city based organisation known as ‘Green for Life Foundation’ along with HIDCO has come up with a great plan to protect the city from pollution.

They have come up with “Heal the Earth, clean is our birth right” campaign and is considered to be the country’s first Urban forest. The Urban forest, which will be spread over 4 acres of land and it will cover the whole Rajarhat area.

At least 8,500 trees will be planted in this man-made urban forest which will produce 9,54,500 kg oxygen and will absorb 5,27,000 kg carbon dioxide approx. Apart from maintaining the balance of our environment, there will be opportunities to buy trees. A small tree will cost Rs.500. One can even buy and plant it in the urban forest. And in that case, his or her name will be written on that tree.
