A Unique Tree Park in Chennai

All of us from Chennai know Vandalur Zoological Park. It remains a major attraction during the weekends for sure. However, I wonder how many of us realize there is a Unique Tree Park next door. This lesser-known park has been one of the best-kept secrets of the city for the last four years.

Inaugurated in August 2018, the "Forest Genetic Resources Tree Park" is spread over 20 acres. It is said to be the first taxonomically designed park. It has a collection of more than 300 rare species of flora, not only from Tamil Nadu but also from the neighboring states. 

The park is a newly added site in the city, having only a handful of sites with flora and plantations. It is a haven for naturalists and even for regular travelers. 

It is a gift from the Forest Department during the centenary celebration of its research wing. Let us reciprocate by visiting the site and recognizing its effort to save the unique flora of our region.

Happy travelling.
