‘Wild Life Week’ Activities conducted with students of Col. Brown School. “One touch of nature makes the whole world kin.”
William Shakespeare
Like winds and sunsets, wild things were taken for granted until progress began to do away with them.

Yet, there are people who belong to a conscious society and have not let the concrete development affect them.
It’s a treat to see schools with a lush green campus like that of Col. Brown School. It’s a traditional school that firmly believes in providing for its students an environment that is conducive for learning. Its numerous trees are home to rare species of birds. As a part of the Wild Life Week, an awareness programme was organized for the middle school students as well as students of classes VIII and IX.
A bird watching session was conducted by Dr. Raman Kumar, Dr.Saumya Prasad and Ms Ridhima from ‘Nature Science Initiative’. The students began their walk at 7.40 a.m. and within a trail of about a kilometre they were able to spot 45 species of birds. The birds spotted were:
The students were extremely excited to spot the variety of birds. That indeed speaks volumes of what kind of an environment our students are privileged to be in.
