Nature in Navi Mumbai
Navi Mumbai has a picturesque setting of hills on one side and water clinging along it’s length on the other. Almost half of the area of Navi Mumbai is earmarked for ‘open to sky’ users such as Regional Park, Woodland Corridors, Holding Ponds and various active and passive open spaces.
Navi Mumbai Nature Park (NMNP)
Importance of Parks, green spaces and trees is more than the `lungs of the city’ as they affect our every day moods, activities and emotional health. They can improve the quality of our life in ways that are often underestimated.
Rich nature in the form of undulating hill slopes, rolling landforms, water streams, ponds adjacent to city is proposed to be brought under the umbrella of ‘Navi Mumbai Nature Park’.
NMNP spreads over an area of 2000 Ha across nodes from Kharghar to Nerul. The plans are at conceptual stage. Bombay Natural History Society (BNHS) has been appointed for studying the biodiversity of the said area and accordingly prepare Master Plans for NMNP’s development. BNHS has recently submitted their observations on bio diversity survey in Nature Park. Based on their submitted guide lines, CIDCO proposes to prepare a Master Plan for the NMNP.
