Delhi Forest Department to Plant Up to 1.5 Lakh Saplings in Central Ridge

The Delhi Forest Department plans to plant 100,000 to 150,000 saplings over 10 acres in the Central Ridge area using the Miyawaki plantation method to create a dense, self-sustaining native forest. The project includes site surveys, removal of invasive species, soil enrichment, and installation of irrigation and protective infrastructure. A three-year maintenance phase will ensure watering, pest control, and biodiversity monitoring to support forest restoration.
