Vashi2Panvel.Com: Navi Mumbai: June1: CAP Dinkar Samant of BNHS, Navi Mumbai has planned a small programme at Valley Park, Belapur on June 5, World Environment Day to formally designate the area as a Protected Park and part of the larger Nature Park, which also includes the Central Park at Kharghar.

On this occasion he also wishes to felicitate Mr. Joshi, Sr.Citizen who has for years been carrying 8 to 10 litres of water daily to water plants in this park that he has personally planted.

“Our programme for June 5th could perhaps begin with joining the CIDCO programme. If BNHS bigwigs come, this could be a great occasion to see the kind of initiative being taken by Cidco and the community, besides seeing the place first hand,” says Kamini Gopal, a BNHS member and Nerul resident.

Another desire in BNHS wish list for Navi Mumbai to have placards of Birds along the paths. “We had already sent a list of 60 birds to Dinkar Samant. He needs the same with Indian Names preferably Marathi and Hindi and also a picture of the Bird. We have asked a few members to concentrate on this,” she explains further adding, “If we were to focus on this not too small a list, it would serve a dual purpose i.e. it could be the presentation as well as the matter to be given to Cidco for display”
