Located in the densely populated Malvani locality of Malad in suburban Mumbai, this plot was originally reserved for setting up a garden space. The plot, however, was encroached by furniture sellers and local small scale business owners since 2008, owing to which it could not initiate development works on this till date.
The forest will be created on a 3-acre land parcel adjoining the bank of Mithi River which passes through the western suburbs; over 140 varieties and sub-varieties of plants will be planted.
