"The Delhi Metro, in association with the Worldwide Fund for Nature (WWF) will distribute 8,000 saplings of native tree species as part of the 'Adopt a Tree' campaign. These saplings would be distributed free-of-cost at the stations from 4-7.30 PM on every Thursday and Friday during the months of August and September," he said.
The Adopt a Tree Campaign was initiated by WWF-India in 2005 with the aim of encouraging both individuals and organisations to plant and care for native species of trees.
Other stations where saplings would be distributed from, include -- HUDA City Centre, MG Road, Chhattarpur, Saket, Vasant Vihar, Nehru Place, Rajouri Garden, Netaji Subhash Place and RK Puram.
