वृक्षों की प्रगति पर निगरानी रखना विचारण न्यायालय का कर्तव्य है क्योंकि पर्यावरण क्षरण के कारण मानव अस्तित्व दांव पर है और न्यायालय अनुपालन के बारे में आवेदक  द्वारा  दिखाई  गई  किसी  भी  लापरवाही  को  नजर  अंदाज  नही  कर सकता है। इसलिए आवेदक को पेड़ों की प्रगति और आवेदक द्वारा अनुपालन के संबंध में एक रिपोर्ट प्रस्तुत करने के लिए निर्देशित किया जाता है एवं आवदेक द्वारा किये गये अनुपालन की एक संक्षप्ति रिपेर्ट इस न्यायालय के समक्ष  प्रत्येक तीन माह में (अगले  छः  महीनों  के  लिए)  रखी  जायेगी  जिसे  कि  ''निर्देश "  शीर्ष  के  अंतर्गत रखा जाएगा।

इस न्यायालय द्वारा यह निर्देश एक परीक्षण प्रकरण के तौर पर दिए गए हैं ताकि हिंसा और बुराई के विचार का प्रतिकार, सृजन एवं प्रकृति के साथ एकाकार होने के माध्यम से सामांजस्य स्थापित किया जा सके। वर्तमान में मानव अस्तित्व के आवश्यक अंग के रूप में दया, सेवा, प्रेम एवं करूंणा की प्रकृति को विकसित करने की आवश्यकता है क्योंकि यह मानव जीवन की मूलभूत प्रवृतियां हैं और मानव अस्तित्व को बनाए रखने के लिए इनका पुनर्जीवित होना आवश्यक है।

''यह प्रयास केवल एक वृक्ष के रोपण का प्रश्न न होकर बल्कि एक विचार के अंकुरण का है।"
