Description:

To commemorate the 150th birth anniversary of Edward James “Jim” Corbett, our school organized an educational trip to the Jim Corbett Heritage Village at Chhoti Haldwani on 25th July 2025. The trip provided students with a meaningful opportunity to explore the legacy of Jim Corbett — a renowned hunter turned conservationist, whose deep love for nature laid the foundation for India’s first national park. The day began with a visit to the Jim Corbett Museum, where students observed rare photographs, letters, and personal belongings of Corbett that highlighted his life and contributions to wildlife conservation. This was followed by a guided heritage trail through the village, where students saw the stone wall built by Corbett to protect villagers from wild animals, his former home, and other landmarks described in his writings. Interactive sessions with local residents gave students a glimpse into Kumaoni culture and Corbett’s close relationship with the community. A short nature walk and conservation talk led by local naturalists introduced students to regional flora and bird species while emphasizing the importance of protecting biodiversity. The day concluded with a reflection session where students shared their learnings. The trip was not only a tribute to Jim Corbett’s legacy but also an inspiring experience that instilled in students a deeper appreciation for nature, heritage, and responsible environmental stewardship.
