Hi All, WCG(Wildlife Conservation Group) is organizing Tree documentation work on coming weekend. Please find the further details below Agenda: Documenting the trees of Bannerughatta road from Bannerughatta to Anekal Programme description: Avenue trees have provided unconditional shade and shelter not only to fauna and avi-fauna but even human beings from time immemorial. We have depended on these old pillars of our Nature who've existed for centuries. Today we might not need them because we have air-conditioned environments inside cities, but they continue to give so much to the living world around. This is a unique invitation to members of our Natural society to voluntarily contribute in understanding of the population and species of these beautiful avenue trees in our neighborhood, in an area under-looked by passing traffic and pollution; the trees need to be documented to make ourselves realize that we indeed love and value them, and their presence will not be forgotten. How do we document: GPS point with species name and detail photographs birds and insect diversity planning to do short film on Trees. Who can participate: Students Photographers Tree Lovers Environment enthusiasts & conservationists Taxonomy experts Birders Why we are documenting: Its good to know our trees – they are our lifeline Documentation will help to spread the love and value of trees to younger generation. Documentation will certainly help to preserve the existing trees Who we are: Wildlife Conservation Group [WCG] A small group of people interested in environmental conservation. When: 8th and 9th of March 2014 . Documentation begins from Bannerugatta Circle . Time :8AM to 12 PM Material you can bring: Hat and water bottle Meter tape 10-mt Books on avenue trees Bird book Binocular Camera Registration is free Contacts: Subbu Badal <https://www.facebook.com/subbu.badal> : +91 9742786628 Shankara Kp <https://www.facebook.com/shankara.kp> :+91 7760517769 Ashwatha Kn <https://www.facebook.com/ashwatha.kn>: +91 9740919832 Mail :[email protected] Thansk, Rudresh -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Bangalore Tree Project" group.
