CSIR-National Botanical Research Institute (NBRI) in Lucknow is turning this idea into reality by finding innovative, eco-friendly uses for naturally fallen trees under its Special Campaign 6.0. The effort is part of the broader objective of Special Campaign 6.0 to encourage resource efficiency, cleaner surroundings and sustainable practices. Lucknow: What if a tree that gets uprooted in a storm or falls itself due to ageing does not end up as waste, but returns to the garden as a seat for morning walkers or a planter for growing new plants?

With thoughtful reuse, it can continue to serve the environment and the people who enjoy green spaces,” NBRI director Zabeer Ahmed said. NBRI spokesperson Raj Rajat Rastogi said, “Our aim is to demonstrate how naturally fallen trees can be put to productive use instead of being treated as waste. He said by converting tree trunks into seating and using wood for plant holders, we are promoting the principles of reuse, repurposing and reduction of plastic.
As part of the initiative, the institute is repurposing fallen tree trunks into wooden seating for visitors and morning walkers. It is also using natural wood to make hanging planters, offering an alternative to plastic containers and promoting sustainable gardening practices. “The message is simple: a fallen tree need not mark the end of its usefulness. The initiative focuses on reusing natural resources available within the institute’s garden and reducing waste. Instead of discarding fallen trees, their trunks are being put to practical use, while wooden planters are being used to grow plants in the garden. Download the TOI App.
