Description
Behind the noise of Mumbai lies a green, serene corner—Maharashtra Nature Park, Mahim, Dharavi. Morning sunlight filters through the trees, butterflies unfold their colourful wings, and old trees like Kadam, Ratan Gunj, Vad, Strychnine Nux Vomica, and Awla quietly hold stories of the forest.
Join naturalist Renee Vyas for a guided Tree Walk and discover the diverse trees and plant life thriving within this urban green space. Learn to observe trees beyond their appearance and understand how they support birds, insects, and the wider ecosystem.
As the monsoon retreats, it is the perfect time to slow down, walk beneath the canopy, and celebrate the trees around us.
Come walk, observe, and celebrate our trees.
