Team Grassroute participated in the Fisheries Entrepreneurship Technology Event Pitch Fest 1.0 organized by KUFOS Business Incubation Centre (KUFOS BIC). Pitch winners are eligible for Seed Grant, Mentorship, Co-working space, Networking opportunity and Incubation support. Mr K.K. Reghuraj led the Team Grassroute.
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.
Grassroute joins hands with Sustera Foundation to plant Mangrove saplings in appropriate areas in the Fruit Forest maintained by Mr I.B. Manoj, the Vanamitra Award Winner 2021.
Routine works of Mangrove Nursery Project
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.
This profound conversation served as the catalyst, planting the seed of an environmental initiative that would soon take root on Vypeen Island. From this moment of enlightenment, “Grassroute” emerged — a visionary endeavour dedicated to nurturing and preserving the ecological harmony of our cherished island home.
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.
