Invasive plant mapping

On the 24th and 25th of March, the NNHS, ATREE, Keystone Foundation, and Clean Coonoor conducted the Invasive plant mapping event. Citizens, Forest department staff, college students, volunteers and scientists were all a part of the event. On the first day we trekked the Kotagiri slopes towards the Rangaswamy pillar and the second day we mapped out the roads in Coonoor towards the famous tourist attraction the Dolphin nose view point.
