Air Products and Anandvan Foundation Inaugurate Anadavan Dense Forest on Earth Day

Air Products (NYSE: APD), a world leader in industrial gases megaproject development and execution, partnered with Anandvan Foundation to inaugurate Anandvan Dense Forest on Earth Day. 

The 6,000 square feet mini forest project has been set up in partnership with Air Products, Anandvan Foundation and Forest Department of Pune. The mini forest has been set up using the Miyawaki technique of growing forests in a shorter period of about 20-30 years, including smaller green patches that grow in two years, unlike naturally grown forests. The model dense forest grows ten times faster and is 30 times denser than traditional forests. The newly created mini forest in Pune houses 1,600 saplings consisting of over 100 native and rare varieties.  

”Air Products is committed to our host communities,” said Sushila Mani, managing director, Air Products India. “Air Products is working to solve the world’s urgent energy and environmental needs through large-scale gasification, carbon capture, hydrogen for mobility and energy transition. We are pleased to partner with Anandvan Foundation to create and sustainably manage the growth of the Anandvan Dense Forest in Pune.” 

“We are excited to inaugurate the model Anandvan Dense Forest on Earth Day, said Praveen Kumar Anand, Founder President, Anandvan Foundation. “The dense forest is extremely effective in absorbing carbon dioxide, producing oxygen, promoting biodiversity and reducing the temperature in the vicinity. We are thankful to Air Products India and the Forest Department of Pune for partnering in our endeavor to protect and care for the environment through forest conservation and afforestation. The dense forest project can be created in as little as 100 square feet space, and can be set up in housing societies, corporate office campus and educational institutes. We are also organizing special volunteering events for children and grownups on this all-important occasion of Earth Day.”
