Our Forest Learning Programme took a group of Class VII students into the forest at Smritivan to observe our local biodiversity up close. With our expert guide, Shri Devendra Kumar Bhardwaj Ji, they walked the jungle trail and learned about the native trees and plants, the birds, animals and insects that live there, and how all these species are connected to one another.
After the walk, everyone sat on the open ground under the forest canopy for an interactive session, where students asked our expert their questions. The students then gathered for a 50-mark quiz, created by Keshav Jeev-Van Foundation, on ecology, the environment, wildlife, plantation, species and the general knowledge of biodiversity. The student with the highest score will be rewarded with plants by the school and Keshav Jeev-Van Foundation, during our upcoming activities at the school.
