Nature lovers and educators are welcome to visit, participate, or host their own programs, making AFS a space for both relaxation and active engagement with the natural world.

Programs Offered at Adavi Field Station (AFS)

Seminars and Talks on Nature and Wildlife

AFS regularly organizes interactive talks and seminars on topics related to wildlife, forest ecology, human-wildlife conflict, and conservation practices. Experts and researchers from diverse fields lead these sessions.

Many college students and nature enthusiasts attend these programs to gain practical insights into wildlife behavior and management.

Nature Camps for School and College Students

AFS regularly conducts summer and winter nature camps for school students from surrounding villages, completely free of cost.

These camps are designed to introduce students to wildlife and nature through hands-on experiences. In addition, other schools and colleges are welcome to use the space to host their own camps.

Stay and Research Facilities for Scientists and Scholars

The station provides basic accommodation and access to the forest landscape, making it an ideal place for ecological studies, wildlife observation, and field research.
