Connecting kids with nature
After the main Turahalli Forest is closed for public, we took this opportunity to explore the Tree Park opposite to it.
Kudos to the Karnataka Forest Dept (KFD) who took a great initiative in rejuvenating this park planting thousands (looks like an exaggeration, but yeah, thousands of new saplings. They welcome any friends free who can volunteer to help water it. A water tanker usually comes in the evening till regular rains.
There will be plenty of space walking, trekking, exercise, etc, including a separate walk path for senior citizens. A toilet also is planned to be constructed.

Some colors along the way…
Great job by KFD staff.
We as volunteers participated in watering saplings.
The tree park is giving a very positive feeling. Especially with variety of plants being selectively planted.
