The students of Grade
VIII went on a field trip to Telangana Forest Academy was one which gave the
students an insight into the role of nature in student lives. Three activities
were lined up by the Star NGO in collaboration with the forest academy-Forest
trail, herbal garden visit, paper bag making.
Students were taken on a forest trail. On
their way, they came across a variety of trees. The utility value of each of
them was clearly explained. Students could relate the uses of those trees in
real time situations. Students could spot vivid differences between environments
of busy cities from that of the forests. Billudu, teak, rosewood, sandalwood,
Rela, Chirumanu, Chilla,Musti, Uduga, Chenangi were few trees which were
identified in the forest.
They were also taken to
the herbal garden where various herbs of high medicinal value were shown to the
students. Ashwagandha, tulasi ,to name a few were few of the medicinal herbs. The
paper bag making activity was an interesting one and the students made them
with great zeal.
We were lucky enough to
meet Ms. Sangeetha, Assistant Conservator of Forests. She gave an inspirational
talk to our students on creating a forest around our homes, by planting more
trees.
In nutshell, the students had a good time with good
learning in the lap of nature.
