Bengaluru residents initiate tree census after BBMP's lack of initiative

Bengaluru | Monday | 17th June, 2019

Summary:

However, with BBMP showing no sign of initiating this drive, residents have taken it upon themselves to carry out the census. A few months back, Whitefield residents carried out a tree census, covering 800 trees. Now, the residents of Bellandur have joined in this initiative of conducting a tree census in their locality. On Sunday, members of Bellandur Jothege teamed up with Project Vruksha (the first tree census app) created by tree doctor Vijay Nishanth and started mapping the trees in Bellandur ward. We can now show them proof if any tree is affected in Bellandur ward,” said Kishori Mudaliar, a member of Bellandur Jothege..
