NGMA Bengaluru is happy to announce the ar.bo.re.tum – A Tour of Trees by Mr. B. S. Chandrashekar, Scientist-E, Institute of Wood Science & Technology (IWST) Bengaluru

Trees are a part of India's rich cultural heritage and traditions from time immemorial. Many species which we commonly see in our surroundings have been venerated, worshipped, protected, admired and adored for thousands of years. In the current age where trees are planted for either economic considerations or ornamental purposes, we take a look at them from the perspective of their association with history and culture.

The event is on Saturday, 10th June 2023 at 4.30 pm
