Nature walk at Lalbagh


We organised a "nature walk" at Lalbagh on Sunday, the 22nd of July, for which guides from ecoedu.com, Mr. Srinivas and Mr. Ulhas accompanied us.
Around 25 interested people from various walks of life gathered to explore about the trees and various other aspects of our century old city garden. Many less-known WOW facts about the trees, insects and the park were discussed. The purpose was to encourage nature enthusiasts to explore outdoors and enrich their knowledge.
The walk lasted for about 3 hours, and it was well appreciated by all those who attended. Requests have been made for more such walks to be conducted.

This was the first walk organized by LIFE and planning to conduct on regular basis.
