Posted on Shalini S.15/05/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Naturalist school is the best place to explore the nuances of nature. I have done my Citizen Naturalist Course in 2023 and learnt about different aspects of nature including native flora and fauna, ecological systems etc. The Highlight of the course was a field trip where we get to learn and witness about all the behavior of living creatures and their coexistence. The courses provided by naturalist school is not only for Biologists or environmentalists but also for people who appreciate nature. Highly recommended!Posted on Shreya Rao09/05/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I did the Citizen Naturalist course a couple of years ago, and it was a transformative experience. I now look at the world around me very differently. The folks at TNS are extremely committed, knowledgeable and enthusiastic, and I continue to randomly badger Priya and team for help with ids, or to chat about events etc. So grateful to have made their acquaintance and done this course.Posted on Mukur Ganguly09/05/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The Naturalist School offers an incredible space to slow down, observe, and truly connect with nature. I completed their Citizen Naturalist Course in 2023 and it was a deeply enriching experience. The sessions were beautifully designed—blending ecology, field-based learning, reflection, and community building. I truly enjoyed Nature Journaling and the Bird watching sessions. The facilitators are not just knowledgeable, but deeply passionate which is vey rare. This course has changed the way I walk through a forest, observe a tree, or listen to birdsong. Whether you're an educator, nature lover, or simply curious, this is a course that will stay with you long after it ends. Highly recommended!Posted on Krishna Murthy Pemmanahalli09/05/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am a frequent visitor to Forests and a passionate wildlife photographer. This has been my hobby for the past two decades. Thankful to have got an opportunity to undergo the neatly customised CITIZEN NATURALIST COURSE. It was a well planned program allowing me to deep dive into the nature, understand different aspects of it. Post learning, i am able to identify different bird species just by listening to their call/sound. Few of the topics What i liked the most. - The metamorphosis phase of a Butterfly or a Moth. Identifying differences between them. - Bio Mimicry… How Humans get ideas and inspirations from Other Species ( Kingfisher for example). - Wood Wide Web and aspects of Symbiotic relationship. Naturalist School helped me gain a lot of insight and well! I am transformed completely. Thank you! If someone is a nature lover he/she must take up this course.Posted on Vinay Kolekar30/04/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As a working professional who's enthusiastic about urban wildlife and ecology, I was lucky enough to find the "citizen naturalist course" conducted by TNS. This well-designed, six-week course expanded my interests across various categories of wildlife that we often miss appreciating in our urban spaces. I've now been equipped with tools and resources that make my nature walks a much more wholesome experience. People at TNS have been a huge motivation for me to make an academic shift towards the field of ecology. I highly recommend visiting TNS if you're a beginner trying to start understanding nature better, or even if you're a pro-birder who's trying to open up opportunities!Posted on Aubaid Shah22/04/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an opportunity to be a part of Naturalist training with The Naturalist School organised by Indiahikes. It was a 3 month course where we leaned about different natural elements, birds, butterflies, animals, trees, etc. It gave a different prospective towards the nature. we leaned about the importance of each natural elements to keep our planet alive. We learned how to connect people with nature and how to become responsible citizens and take care of our planet. This program also focused on how to facilitate Nature Walk. This program started with a 5 day training with from The Naturalist School facilitators and then followed by on ground training for 3 months, followed by 2nd round of training by The Naturalist School and we had to go through an exam to qualify as a certified Naturalist. Thank you so much The Naturalist School for starting this program where people get to know nature in details, can connect easily and get to understand the importance of it.Posted on Akshay Pawaskar22/04/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Attending the Naturalist Training at The Naturalist School, Benog Tibba, has been a truly eye-opening experience. The program offers deep insights into the natural world and equips you with the knowledge, skills, and tools needed to become an expert nature guide. Beyond just training, it emphasizes the importance of conservation, ethics, and awareness - key values to bring into every nature walk. I highly recommend the Nature Guide course to anyone looking to connect more deeply with nature and discover more about themselves along the way. Thank you, The Naturalist School.Posted on Ramon Dharma Rajan20/04/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Perhaps one of the most memorable learning experiences I have had. The Nature Guiding course really helped me connect with Nature and gave me some really valuable tools that I can use in every walk of life. What I loved the most is that Nature Guiding didn’t stop at that. Priya ma’am took the effort to understand the audience and deliver what is Required for the team. She really went out of her way to understand us. And based on that understanding she have us so much more than Nature Guiding. We also learnt some very important facilitation and Management techniques. Even after the course, a lot of effort was put by the Naturalist School to ensure that we continue our learning journey - and that means a lot!Posted on Shravan Ragi19/04/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently went through the naturalist training with The Naturalist school, the entire training was divided into two parts of 5 days of each. Firstly it made each one of us to fall in love with the nature. Gave us different lens to see the natural world around us along with the tools to learn and explore by ourselfs. The training left a huge impact on how we see nature, and the love to protect and also make people fall in love with the nature. The facilatators designed this program to make the most.
