The Plantation meets the present demand for firewood and fodder from 20 hectares of forest land of its own. Vetiver (a plant that binds the soil ) is planted on both sides of the road and all farmers are also encouraged to plant Vetiver around their living quarters as it helps control soil erosion. It is also a source for extra income for them. Kalo Siris (Albezia Sinensis), Asuro (Adhatoda Vesica), Bakaino (Melia Azedarach), Khirro (Sapium Insigne), high in nutrients, are being planted in the garden. Training program for farmers are conducted regularly to develop their skills in IPM, (Integrated Pest Management) composting, environment protection etc. All young children are educated to care for the mother EARTH and their society.
