In a surprising twist that combines environmental love with commercial activity, a Bangalore-based company called Trove Experiences has announced an event that charges participants ₹1500 to hug trees. The event, scheduled for the 28th of this month at Cubbon Park, aims to offer stress relief through intimate nature interactions, including tree hugging and forest walks. However, this fee has stirred quite a reaction on social media, with many netizens calling it a new type of scam. Critics argue that charging such a high fee simply to embrace a tree is unreasonable and exploitative of genuine environmental enthusiasm.
