Chennai Trekking Club – Ainthinai team has created a perfect eco system with Support from Tamil Nadu Forest dept around the Ayyangarkulam lake by planting 250+ saplings and maintaining them with the efforts of local village folks. Two weeks ago HP with help of Tamil Nadu Forest dept have plabted 900 saplings. Those saplings need to be protected from grazing. On September 15th, around 25 volunteers from CTC manured for over 100 saplings and set up Tree guards. Remaining saplings need our help for further growth.
