Happy about the fact that the state government has declared a 600-acre of land in Aarey milk colony as a reserve forest, Aarey Forest – a group of Aarey citizens will plant 600 native species of trees on Sunday.

Talking to mid-day, environmentalist Sanjeev Valsan said, "We are starting a campaign #pedlagao to mark the first milestone of 600 acres of Aarey receiving legal protection by being declared as a reserve forest. We will plant 600 trees in our threatened forest. We also demand that the remaining parts of Aarey receive protection and that the metro cashed is shifted out from Aarey forest."
