Endangered Tree Species for plantation at Maharashtra Nature Park, Mumbai

[Avinash Kubal]

Dear Friends,

Maharashtra Nature Park spread over an are of 37 acres (located at
Dharavi Mumbai) is unique place as it is a man made forest developed
on erstwhile landfill site.

Being a center of Education and awareness for Nature Conservation, MNP
is visited by hundreds of students every day. This includes students
from streams like botany and other biological sciences.

We here at MNP are planning to enrich our flora by adding collection
of native plant species (mainly the hardy perennials (Trees, Shrubs,
Climbers etc)

With this email, i am requesting all the members on this elite e-group
to share their collection of rare, endangered, unusual, less known,
interesting plants which can be planted here. This will be immensely
benefiting to the visitors (mainly students) those visit here.

My contact details are as follows:
