handbook Beautifully illustrated by Saumitra Deshmukh and designed by Aditi Elassery, this Handbook is a visual treat. "I sincerely believe that for the child, and for the parent seeking to guide him/her, it is not half so important to know as to feel." - Rachel Carson Children have an innate affinity to nature which is often lost while growing up. If nurtured, however, a child’s association with nature can last a lifetime and lead to several physical and emotional benefits. The handbook contains a section on natural history of birds, written in simple language appropriate for a beginner. One section describes the details of planning, organizing and conducting a bird walk for a group of children or adults. Preparation needed for the facilitator who is taking a group on a bird walk. Talks and presentations about birds can be enlivened in many ways, and we give you tips and tricks, dos and dont's.
