About 75 students participated in the Pokali Farming Workshop Chapter 3 designed with the intention of popularizing Pokkali farming. By covering this chapter, participants learned the transplantation of the Pokkali seedlings in uniform distance in straight rows.
Grassroute has assisted Sustera Foundation to plant about 100 Mangrove saplings at the boundaries of I.B. Manoj’s Fruit Forest located at Ayyampilly, Kerala. This is the first joint Mangrove planting project between both the organisations. Hopefully there are many other similar projects that are yet to be announced.
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.
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.
