Nourish Nature Foundation

Nourish Nature Foundation is based out in Midnapur, specifically in the village of Dhannyagachi. We operate from the home of Santi Nath Roy, who is the son of the late Hari Pada Roy. It is a very local setup, right in the heart of the village area where everyone knows everyone else. We don’t have a corporate office or anything like that. We just use the space we have to organize our work and keep our tools. Being surrounded by trees and fields makes it the right place for what we do. We spend a lot of time outdoors, actually looking at the land and talking to the people who live here. The pace of life in Dhannyagachi is different than in the city, and we appreciate that. We don’t have a big team of experts, just a bunch of us who care about the environment and how things are growing. Sometimes the roads are difficult to travel on when it rains, but we manage to get around. We aren’t doing this for any kind of fame or money. It is more about making sure the nature around us stays healthy for the next generation. We keep our records in simple folders and meet around the kitchen table or out in the yard. It is a very direct way of working. We just do what we can with the tools we have and try to be helpful to the neighbors and the land they live on.
