Kozhikode school’s mini forest brings students closer to nature

Students at a government school in Kozhikode are learning environmental stewardship through 'Vidyavanam,' a mini-forest initiative on their campus. The project encourages children to plant trees, feed local wildlife, and develop a hands-on connection with nature.
Why it matters
This initiative serves as a practical educational model for fostering environmental responsibility and conservation values in young students.
The laughter of children at play mingles with the birdsong from the mini forest, Vidyavanam, at Government Mappila Upper Primary (GMUP) School, Poonoor, 30 km away from Kozhikode city.
