On 15/09/2013, successfully completed the event of Tree Plantation at Navsahyadri

Educational society group of institution playground. Trees are the foremost source for

producing the oxygen in environment, they helps to reduce the level of CO2. As we all

know that the whole world is facing the problem of global warming and to recover from

such problem planting the trees is become one of the most important aspects today.

The event was began with the welcoming of honourable President Mr.P.N.Suke. The

Welcome speech has been given by the Principal. Then the Director advice everyone to

think differently for the Society to make positive changes and to make improvement. The

Principal orients the volunteers by notifying the importance of planting trees for the

environment as well as society. He said that “In society all the human beings are

comprise equal importance, no matter with the Men or Women.” He also said that the

dedication is must to accomplish the goals and dreams in life. After the inspirational

words of Principal we all move towards the place where tree plantation took place. A

very first tree plant by Director in college premises. Total tree planted by all others

including teachers, volunteers was more than 125 on the day. All were happy and

experience proud after the tree plantation event was finished, because it really feels great

to do positive for the nature.


a. The concept/principles/procedures learn as the result of activity.

The gardeners taught us the 12 step procedure for planting of trees. Select the right tree

for your location. Ground Breaking Use a tree that will grow well in your part of the

state and make sure it has plenty of room vertically and horizontally for the canopy and

roots to grow. Dig the hole at least twice as wide as the root ball. Dig a square hole no

deeper than the root ball. This keeps the roots from settling to deep while still allowing

them to penetrate the surrounding soil. Fill the empty hole with water and check the

drainage.

If it takes longer than 24 hours to drain, select another site. A tree will die if its roots

are underwater for long periods of time. Prune the tree sparingly and only if


necessary.

Remove only dead, broken and diseased branches and roots that are crushed and

girdling, or growing around the main stem. Removing even a small portion of healthy

canopy actually slows root growth and delays establishment. A thoughtfully selected

tree shouldn’t need to be pruned. Set the tree in the hole with the root collar (just

above the roots) flush or slightly above natural grade. Planting too deep is a leading

cause of mortality in newly planted trees. Don’t pick up the tree by the trunk. Always

handle by the container or root ball. Remove all foreign materials from the root ball.

This includes wires, twine, cords, containers and non-biodegradable bags. If planting

a tree with roots wrapped in burlap, remove as much of the burlap as possible.

This allows water to seep in and the roots to grow out. Gently fill the hole with the

same soil that came out of the hole. Do not add soil amendments. Settle the soil with

water. Packing the soil damages and breaks fine roots. Stake the tree only if

necessary. Consult a professional if staking is required. Stakes should not be left in

place more than one year. Mulch around the tree at least out to the drip line, two to

three inches deep, and up to but not touching the trunk. Wood chips, pine bark, leaf

litter and hay are great mulches. Mulching keeps soil temperature fairly steady boosts

soil moisture retention and keeps weeds at bay. Organic mulches add nutrients to the

soil as they decompose. Water the tree for at least the first two years, but don’t over

water. A newly planted tree requires six to eight gallons of water for every diameter

inch of trunk per week. A thorough soaking is much better than light, frequent

watering.

Protect the tree from animals and humans. Staking to the ground a wire-mesh cage at

least three feet in diameter and four feet tall can keep deer and livestock from eating

your tree. It also can safeguard your tree from weed whackers, which can easily kill

your tree. Do not fertilize the tree during the first growing season. Too much nitrogen

will burn tender roots, slowing growth and delaying establishment.

b. Application of observation/experience in professional life/work.

The students and lecturer can implement the knowledge at home and other social

places.


c. Summary & conclusion

Hence the students got to know the benefits of planting trees and also the exact

procedure for planting trees.
