On the second week of April, the Ward Member, Nayarambalam Panchayath, Mrs Beena Jagadeeshan inaugurated the Grassroute Mangrove Nursery. Students from various schools and colleges were present to witness the event. Some native people also attended the ceremony. It was a pride moment for Team Grassroute fulfilling a dream job.
Today marked an important milestone as we successfully completed the cutting of bamboo poles. Looking ahead, our focus will shift towards the next phase of our journey. In the days to come, we will diligently fill the bamboo pots with nutrient-rich soil and organic fertilizers, preparing the perfect environment for planting the precious Mangrove seeds.
This pilot project serves as a testament to our unwavering commitment to Mangrove conservation and restoration. By embracing innovative techniques and nurturing Mangroves in thoughtfully crafted habitats, we aspire to secure a flourishing future for these invaluable ecosystems.
We take great pride in the successful execution of this project, which was made possible by the dedication and hard work of all participants. Let us continue to champion the cause of environmental conservation and inspire others to join us in nurturing and protecting our precious coastal ecosystems. Together, we can make a significant and lasting impact.
India’s Independence Day, observed on August 15, marked the inception of Grassroute’s inaugural initiative, which entailed the planting of mangroves, Cost Cottonwood Tree Stumps, and Indian Almond seeds. In a departure from traditional cloth flags, flagpoles adorned the beach, embodying a collective sentiment of patriotism. On this significant day, a dedicated group of local volunteers, comprising both young and middle-aged individuals, unveiled this distinctive blend of patriotism and philanthropy.
