Greenwalks #3 and #4 Photographs of the Trails

Hello Friends
Our Greenwalks #3 and #4 were conducted in two different areas where one can find more of a human interference.  
#Greenwalk 3 was conducted in Native Biodiversity Garden, Teenvira, Alibaug. It is a man-made garden which is dedicated to support the native/local biodiversity of the area. We could spot a good amount of lesser fauna and lovely flowers. 
#Greenwalk 4 was conducted in a small tribal village Kawale, Wada. A walk in the green area nearby human settlements was really cheerful. We came a across good number of insects and some wild flowers. 

Here are some of Photographs of out last two walks
