What an enthralling experience to wake up to wild grooves with wild varieties of birds chirping around us. Avenue, trees, paths, sunbeams, sunrays, wind, insects, soil, etc.. enclosing a thick groove forest is one amazing learning which we got to experience there. As a part of Aarvam’s ecology observatory block, two forests namely ‘Puthanampatti forest’ & ‘Kalarampatti Reserve Forest’ has been toured & studied.

Studying on vegetation types, how hard scapes & green scapes merge.
Many exciting aspects of forests really made us ponder over a lot of thoughts like vegetation pattern, how closely different varieties of trees choose each other & live in their groups, dryscapes, enclosures, trails, etc. Dr.Vijayakumar who is specialised in Sidhha Medicine accompanied with the study team and a detailed knowledge by experiential learning on the species type, its medicinal values & its growth pattern has been explained beautifully.
Forests are the spaces where we hear ourselves better. To create a forest of 1.5 acres at Payir campus, planting native vegetation & recreating the lost history has been focused keenly. Documentation & listing each typology has been processed to co relate it with the Samacheer Kalvi system of education to create it for our children.

Studying various types of ecosystems to recreate a thick dense forest which will not disturb these scintillating species type. Apart from these forest trails, few sample material boards for eco-block to document the bird varieties at thenur and itssurrounding villages are being planned to showcase as a galleria. Playing cards for kids based on birds has been contributed by Vidyut from Amagi. The kids have been enjoying the study process thoroughly as it’s fun- learning at the end of the day!!
