Roots & Shoots: A Community Ecology Walk at AJC Bose Botanical Garden

Join us for a leisurely yet insightful three-hour stroll through the historic AJC Bose Botanical Garden, where urban nature reveals its hidden wonders.

Along this walk, we will explore the intricate interactions among trees, birds, insects, and other living beings that thrive in this green oasis amidst the city. You’ll hear engaging stories about our native tree species—their cultural significance, scientific traits, and enduring legacy in Kolkata’s heritage.

We’ll also dive into the practice of scientific specimen collection and demonstrate how you, as a citizen scientist, can contribute meaningful data for research and conservation. Whether you’re a seasoned naturalist or simply curious about the urban ecosystem, this tour offers a fresh perspective on nature’s resilience and our role in safeguarding it.
