Pitchandikulam Forest is a community based in the green belt of Auroville in coastal Tamil Nadu, South India, focused on restoration ecology.

There is thunder far off to the north. We hope the rain falls on our recent lake side plantings. Dramatic lightning illuminates the young forest at Nadukuppam.

Here we aspire to serve as stewards, members of a land community growing everyday in complexity. All our efforts seem initiatives of transition, of careful transformation as the ground and climate shift dramatically all around us.
