Darwins Scholars 2016

The Darwin Scholars Programme was held in U.K this year by Field studies council. People working in Field biology,
ecology and several other fields all came together to explore more methods of knowing the forest and environment better in the future.

Along with the Shropshire wildlife society, we collected insects from around the neighbourhood.

The Darwin family planted so many trees in the garden of Shrewsbury house, a collection of flora from all over the world.
