Promoting Environmental Awareness About Trees

Tree Walks by Nizhal are liked by many people. The  walks have been conducted steadily over the last 5 years!. Walks have been conducted at Guindy National Park, Nageshwara Rao Park, Birla Planetarium, St. Georges’ Cathedral and other areas of the city. 

Nizhals vision is to be an effective catalyst in greening urban areas. The Mission of Nizhal is to promote tree culture in urban areas, to create awareness of the role of trees, planting the right kind of trees and caring for trees, through collaborative efforts. Besides the popular Tree Walks, Nizhal initiated the concept of Tree Talks.

The public Talks serve to facilitate sharing experiences and discussions on knowledge about trees and their care in urban areas. The first of the talks was by renowned botanist, Dr. Narasimhan, Madras Christian College, held at the Birla Planetarium, Science City Campus, on “Trees – What they mean to us”; the next was by Dr Pauline, from Womens Christian College, on Trees of Chennai.
