• 3,500 native saplings planted across 3 acres • Flowering and fruit-bearing species introduced to support birds and pollinators • 4 lotus ponds created as ecological microhabitats • Watering and maintenance jointly managed by Siruthuli and the Golf Club

Project Details

Within the manicured greens of the Coimbatore Golf Club lay a dry, unused patch of land, barren and overlooked. In 2023, the Club partnered with Siruthuli to transform this space into Captain Vanam, an afforestation initiative that seamlessly blends recreation with conservation. Siruthuli led the ecological planning and plantation, while the Golf Club committed to long-term care, ensuring that the intervention evolved into a thriving green habitat rather than a one-time plantation drive.
