“The recent Cyclone Tauktae wrecked havoc along the Goa coastline causing sand and soil erosion damaging the shoreline. So we undertook this massive plantation drive to protect and preserve our environment particularly this Benaulim beach coastline from further sand and soil erosion. The Forest department provided us these trees,” informed Pereira.
