Forest Department takes Government School Students for forest walks after two years as Anubhuti camp organised on Christmas
After two years of break, school children learned about environment, forests and wildlife in two-day fun-filled forest camp concluding on Friday. The Forest Department organised Anubhuti camp for the children of government schools.
Children were taken for a walk in the jungle. A master trainer told them about various facts and guided them about understanding pugmarks of animals.
Anubhuti camp was not kept for two years due to infection. After taking the permission of the government, the department has made preparations for it.
Children of different schools were taken for a walk in the forest in separate shifts. A similar program is being organised to take govt school students on forest tours.
In the two-day long program, children from different schools will be taken for a walk in the forest.
Details about rare flora, plants and wildlife were explained. Three to four master trainers are notified in each forest division to continue the program in long term.
Forest is including some NGOs and retired forest officers to be entrusted with the responsibility.
DFO Narendra Pandwa said that Anubhuti camp was kept in each range on December 24 and December 25.
"Each shift of children from three to four schools with 100 students in each was taken for a walk in the forest," Pandwa said. The master trainers discussed various animals and general behaviour of wildlife. Students were taught how to identify pugmarks and animals from their behaviour.
Rare species of trees and plants found in the state were also discussed.
