The idea of the club is to
create awareness about different varieties of trees in our environment. Making
of projects based on environmental issues, visits to the nurseries to explore
the different varieties of indoor and outdoor plants, rain water harvesting,
nature walks that include the studying of flora and fauna of the region,
effects on the forests due to the human intervention, are some of the topics which
the club intends to deal with.

Founder Secretary of
Magnifique Group of Educational Institutions U.S. Moinuddin who is also an
internationally known environmentalist and an author initiated the opening of
the club. He Said, “There are hundreds of varieties of trees in our
environment. But, most of the people are unable to identify even the commonly
found trees. Hence, with this initiative we intend to create the awareness to
the students from an earlier age. Further, we want the students to get
emotionally connected with the trees as though they are the members of their
families." Moinuddin also said that
environment based clubs should be started in all the schools and colleges so
that awareness about the roles of trees in our environment gets created and merciless cutting down of trees gets
restricted.

| The opening of Tree Explorers Club |
Richard Alexander a Dutch national, who is the Founder of ‘Sustainable World Project’ and the Author of
the internet book “The Young World Leader Program,” participated in the event. He
said, “Tree Explorers Club is a wonderful initiative. I am sure the students
are going to benefit a lot from this. This will also encourage them to be more
considerate towards nature and its creations. Eventually, it will help them in
becoming better human beings.”
Divyashree a student of
tenth standard said, “Tree explorers club will also help us to know some of the
rare varieties of trees. Learning about trees in the green campus of Magnifique
Public School is going to be a beautiful experience to the students.”
Recently, as part of the
initiative, students learnt about the benefits of the coconut tree and also
elaborate discussions were done about the different varieties of Bamboos such
as Green Bamboo, Golden Bamboo, and Buddha’s Belly. Also, the use of Bamboo in different cultures
across the world was discussed.
