ENVIRONMENTAL VALUE OF TREES
You won't believe what trees do for you!
We know trees are important. But do you know they do
much more than provide shade and fruits.
ENVIRONMENTAL VALUE OF TREES
We’re conducting a year-long study of the Ecology at The Lake Retreat, Nandivali.
This study will provide a broad assessment of ecology with diversity in trees (flora) & fauna, assessment of soil and water resources in every season.
Here’s the result from the first set of findings from the study conducted in peak summer in the month of May-2023. (The data of this report will be updated at regular intervals on our website with the latest findings)
TREES
The Lake Retreat, Nandivali has trees around 10,000 naturally grown adult trees.
Tree Assessment
The forest represents a multitier system, comprising of Herbs, Shrubs, Trees, Climbers, Lianas and Epiphytes indicating a mixed deciduous forest.
TREE DIVERSITY
Every forest is a unique ecology which is best maintained with its own native plants and trees. Here are some of the variety of trees at The Lake Retreat, Nandivali.
ECONOMIC VALUE OF TREES
The Economic Value of the
10,000 existing trees at The Lake Retreat is
₹
74,50,00,000/-
per Year
3,000 trees *₹ 74,500 = ₹ 22 Cr./years

Says Who?
As per the Report Submitted by
the Special Committee appointed by
the Hon’ Supreme Court in 2021.
Average Economic Value of a single Tree is
estimated at ₹74,500/year in India.
SPACE
FAUNA
We found 111 faunal species in the core area. Among these species, there were bird species, arachnid, reptiles & mammals among others.
SOIL
Soil assessment helps us understand grain size, colour, texture and more. This information can be used in strategic decision‐making for detailed soil analysis.
