Nature Trails: Nature trails are an attempt to provide a break to the city dwellers from their ordinarily hectic daily lives and introduce them to the natural beauty, peace and serenity that nature has to offer. A manageable time period like half a day or so is taken out to visit a nearby area where natural flora and fauna can be observed. It proves to participants the importance of nature and the proximity man should share with it. It does not require a great deal of effort or resources and can provide much needed respite to people from a city environment. It can also prove useful for data collection and field research on birds, butterflies, etc.

	“Anubhav” Outdoor experiential educational program: This program is specially planned to relocate the study of environment to its rightful place enhancing the curriculum of classroom learning. The outdoors becomes a living laboratory for the learners in understanding the elements of nature available in and around us. The nature study conceived here is not so much about the learning of names and classification but giving an inexplicable experience that would become a continuous process of learning.
