Almost every tree has some climbers on them, such as Nolvel (Dioscoria bulbifera), Dioscoria pentaphylla, Dioscoria hispida, Shindoli (Holostemma annulare), Jyotismati, Climbing Fern (Lygodium flexuosum)……….. Giant Wood Spiders, Signature Spiders, weaving larger & larger webs……fluttering butterflies chasing each other………buzzing bees collecting pollens from wild flowers………there is a sensational buzz in Malad Trail of National Park……….We invite you all to join us for a Tree Appreciation Walk in Malad Trail, SGNP, on 8th Sep,13.* *The 41thth walk is on Sunday 8th Sep, 2013 * * Venue: Sanjay Gandhi National Park, Borivali* *Time: 7.30 am* *Duration of walk: 2 hours* *Meeting Point: SGNP’s gate near the ticket window.* *Please buy your ticket which is Rs.34.40/- per head.
