On Sunday, the Collector of Patan visited a newly created forest cover in Sander village. This initiative was led by the Patan Forest Department. The local panchayat also played a role in welcoming the Collector. During the visit, the Collector planted saplings of the Sindur tree. This event coincided with Father’s Day, where a coconut filled with sweets was presented by a daughter to celebrate the occasion.
The Collector praised the work done by the Forest Department and acknowledged the cooperation of the village residents. He informed them about the environmental benefits that the village could gain from such initiatives. The Butterfly Garden and the forest cover were highlighted for their excellent development.
Many local leaders were present during the Collector’s visit. Notable attendees included Mahendrabhai Patel, the village head (Sarpanch), and Amitbhai Patel, a member of the Taluka Panchayat. V.L. Desai, a forest officer, was also present. Their support was vital for the success of the project.
The forest cover aims to enhance the local environment. It provides a habitat for various species, including butterflies. The Butterfly Garden is expected to attract more visitors, which could benefit local tourism.
The Collector’s visit marks an important step towards environmental conservation in Patan. The government aims to increase green cover across the state of Gujarat. Projects like this one are crucial for improving air quality and supporting wildlife.
Sander village is now part of a larger movement to promote greenery in urban and rural areas. With continued support from local leaders and the community, the project can thrive. More such initiatives could follow, leading to a greener and healthier environment for future generations.
In conclusion, the efforts of the Patan Forest Department, along with community involvement, are paving the way for a sustainable future. The Collector’s visit not only recognised these efforts but also encouraged further action in environmental stewardship.
