We are implementing an award winning for an environmental project. One of our goals is to increase the swallow population in our campus.
In their migration seasons we record their nests. We plan to monitor the swallows in our high school's campus during this time period.

Pong lake is an international Ramsar site declared in the year 2002 and is home to about 1.50 lacs of water fowls.

I am working here as the forest range officer since five years and I record many activities of migratory birds every winter. Many species of water fowls are breeding around the Lake the number I counted last year was about 32 waterbird species.
