Why are the trees and greenery in Rani Bagh so important?
The 53 acres of verdant tree cover of Rani Bagh makes it a vital green lung for the city. Nearly 150 years old this precious nature heritage site is a beloved public space for Mumbais citizens who are deprived of green open vistas. Doongerwadi or the Parsi Towers of Silence is the only other large expanse with a thick tree cover in the island city and being owned by a trust is out of bounds for the public.
