Clearing the lake shores of rubbish

Today the two security guards at the lake have been given gloves and sacks so that during their rounds, they can also help in clearing up the bags, packets, bottles and other rubbish that are in the plant beds and other areas around the lake.

First Birds at Puttenahalli Lake

The Puttenahalli lake is ready and waiting for the rains. Hopefully, by the end of the year the level would have risen. Even the little water it has attracts birds. I spotted lapwings, moor hens, snake birds (darters) and of course the pond herons and a few small ones that almost miss the eye. Fellow Trustee Prasanna will be able to identify them.

Tree planting - round 1 completed

Tree planting on the lake shores happened on 17th July 10:00 am onwards. About 125 saplings were planted by residents of the area, BBMP forest officials Shivanna and Jagadish, Bommanahalli MLA Sathish Reddy, Puttenahallli corporator L. Ramesh, Arekere corporator A.N.Purushotham (Ravi), apart from others.
