Announcement:
Avalahalli Lake Biodiversity Survey: Bird Count, Sunday, 8 Sept '24 (only for survey participants, above 15 yrs)
Hello everyone, from Green Circle
The biodiversity register which we are planning is going to help Green Circle, which is doing a lot of lake revival activities.
Currently we are taking steps to rejuvenate the Rajakaluve. We are therefore trying to identify flora like shrubs and trees, and fauna like birds, butterflies, dragonflies, damselflies and notable insects.
As part of this survey, we are having the bird count at Avalahalli Llake on Sunday, 8 Sept '24. This is a documentation project and not a general bird/nature walk. It is not suitable for participants below 15.
Meeting/Parking point:
Reliance Trends, opp Vajram Tiara Apartments on Doddaballapur road, location:
