Vega School's Grade 1 recently visited the Aravali Biodiversity Park in Gurgaon

As a part of their current project about Life and the Environment, Vega Schools's Grade 1 recently visited the Aravali Biodiversity Park in Gurgaon, which is managed by I Am Gurgaon. Through this visit, their learning leaders intended for the learners to understand the different types of vegetation as well as landscape that exists within their own city of Gurgaon.

Learners were acquainted with some interesting facts, such as - the biodiversity park is a man-made forest/vegetation cover which was started by the people in order to save the land from mining, and that even Gurgaon has foothills and plant/animal species that they weren't even aware of. @Abhishek Gulshan, the founder of Ninox - Owl about Nature, guided children on a walk through the park and sensitized them about various native species of plants and animals that are exclusive to the Aravali Hills.

When the young learners reflected upon their visit and learnings - they made intelligent deductions such as the minimal amount of plastic waste present at the park, presence of undisturbed animal species, and the difference in the air quality inside the park. Some of the learners were also deeply moved by the works of I am Gurgaon and Ninox and discovered a new passion inside them.
