The first tree transplant in Dehradun was carried out on 21st Feb, under the guidance of Mrs. Anchal Sondhi, a member of CFGD, who
has transplanted over 200 trees in Pune. It took days of planning & coordination and 6 gruelling and heart stopping hours on the D-Day to transfer the tree. Some photos of action are below.
