Nest Making to Save Sparrows --- An Endeavour by Ahlconites

Nest Making activity was organised in our school in collaboration with Eco Roots Foundation on Saturday 1^st December 2012. Children from classes VI-VII participated in the workshop where they had hands on experience on nest making using coconut shells to attract house sparrows which are declared state birds.

Mr. Rakesh Khatri, Director of Eco Roots Foundation introduced nest making to the children using green tender coconut, dry grass cooler pads, thin rope, bundles of used news paper, twigs etc. They enjoyed making beautiful; and creative nests and exhibited their nests to their friends and teachers. Their feedback was taken in the form of a questionnaire which was well appreciated by the school Principal.

The initiative taken by the students to protect house sparrows through nest making activity will be continued in the new academic session as a part of CBSE project under the theme “Environment and Heritage”.
