The Wildlife Research, Nature Conservation Leadership and Sustainability Training Program
is a 6-day course carried out by RewildEd and the Vanghat Lodge, Corbett, on the banks of the Ramganga river.
Learn to see the natural world with new eyes and a fresh perspective!
We believe that the natural world has unfathomable beauty. The Wilderness Program aims to impart basic knowledge of wildlife and conservation backed by scientific theories explained by trained professionals. It’s only when you know what you’re looking at that you can fully appreciate each organism and its place in the natural world!
Our program aims to help you see nature with new eyes, as you unwind far from the hustle of city life amidst the Sal forests.
Learn aspects of natural history, ecology, and sustainable tourism through a combination of classroom lectures and guided forest walks.
