Forest Learning: Life & Habitats

School Programme · Forest Learning · Outdoor Biodiversity and Forest Learning

Completed

· Smritivan, Jaipur

Our Forest Learning Programme took a different group of Class VII students into the forest at Smritivan, this time on the theme of life and habitats. With our expert guide, they crossed the arched bridge on the biodiversity trail, went down the forest steps and walked through tunnels of trees, stopping as the guide pointed out the trees, leaves and flowers that most people walk past.

Back on the open lawn, with nature as the classroom, the students sat with the guide for an open-air session, answered his questions and spoke to the group. They then took a quiz on the environment, ecology, wildlife and plantation, solved outdoors in the shade of the trees.
