Tree Management in Kalyan West, Kalyan-Dombivli.

Old Kalyan West compounds often hold the largest trees in the neighbourhood: old rain trees, peepal and banyan, older than any building near them. Redevelopment brings each one before KDMC's Tree Authority. We enumerate and assess the trees, design the layout to keep the ones worth keeping, and prepare transplanting and compensatory planting for trees that must go. Where planting cannot fit on the plot, we identify land elsewhere and a plan for keeping the saplings alive.

Kalyan West is the old town, the side of the railway junction where Kalyan grew as a port and market long before the suburbs arrived. The Durgadi fort stands above the creek, the Kala Talao lake sits near the old centre, and the APMC market and busy station roads carry traffic from the whole district. Beyond the core, towers are rising where older buildings stood, and new layouts have spread towards Gandhare and the Kalyan-Bhiwandi road. The Ulhas creek, tidal and lined with mangroves, forms the western edge. The Adharwadi dumping ground, long a local grievance, lies within it.
