EARTHSMILES Trust has taken up the exercise - REGREEN Chennai - which aims to plant one lakh saplings ahead of the monsoon season, a press release said.
One lakh well grown saplings not less than 4.5 feet size before the monsoon season would be planted under the initiative, while small saplings and seeds would be planted in areas which can help develop dense forests, it said.
Nearly one lakh trees of total 6.50 lakh trees were uprooted when the cyclone crossed Chennai coast in December last year.
