Dear Sir and friends, It is really incredible the efforts taken by efloraofindia and Shri Gurcharan Singhji, and all the other experts who offer their valuable time in solving the queries posted by the members. There are several Tree walks and Tree Appreciation Walks being conducted at various places including one at Madurai which started recently. In this context, efi's official participation and professional advice could take efi directly to the field. Discussion along these lines could open up other possibilities. There could be a week devoted to regional native flora or state wise native flora. Help in procuring saplings of native local species would be very much appreciated. Warm Regards, Dr Badri Narayanan On Mar 23, 2013 7:26 PM, "Gurcharan Singh" <singh...@gmail.com> wrote:
