Nature walk promotes the
health of the mind, the body, and the spirit. Taking a walk or a hike to enjoy
the scenery, the fresh air and the activity can help in calming and clearing
the mind, managing stress and depression and improving one's overall health. It
also provides opportunities for learning experiences in a variety of subjects
such as science, geography, math, and art. Each nature walk offers something
different for students to explore – even if they walk the same trails from one
day to the next. Akal College of Education, Baru Sahib, organised an
educational trail for the B. Ed. students on September 25, 2021 under the
supervision of Dr. Tanu Sharma and Ms. Babita Rayta. Forty eight students
participated in the activity. A nature walk senses
activitywas given to
students in which students have to listen to different sounds, to brainstorm
what they can smell, to look around and write down what they see and what it
feels like to make them immerse themselves in the environment. Students looked around their surroundings for artistic inspiration on
nature walks and also collected objects to be included in a piece of art, such
as pieces of bark, dried leaves and sticks. They enjoyed tracking and also
