Thanks, Dharma ji. It's always good to see such things crystalize. We have so many members in different cities, who have come to know each other through this forum & going together for wildlife & photography trips together. A few members together are exploring far flung areas & announcing such trips on this forum to seek willing members to accompany them. However, Tree Appreciation Walks <https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/general-eposts/general-efi-posts/tree-appreciation-walks--details> in Mumbai are the most organised. Anyone can take the initiative & start such things.
