Some nature lovers planting trees in the rains
The arrival of the monsoon brings with it the responsibility of protecting nature for greenery lovers. The monsoon is believed to be the best time for planting, and so many nature lovers use it to increase the greenery.
Many groups of nature lovers venture out to plant saplings and seeds when the rains set in. As the soil is wet then, not much effort is required to plant them. Many people also carry seed balls or bombs – seeds wrapped in wet soil, which can simply be thrown anywhere. Members of some such groups spoke to mid-day about this activity. They especially make it a point to plant local and Indian trees.
