On the lovely sunny Saturday morning of 5th October 2013 a select group of GILAC employees and their families visited the beautiful Godrej mangroves in Vikhroli. The trip was organized by the Godrej India Culture Lab, on the occasion of World Wildlife Week, in co-ordination with Mr Hemant Karkhanis from the Soonabai Pirojsha Godrej Marine Ecology Centre. It was a splendid experience which started with a bird trail organized by ornithologists Vinit Rau and Sachin Rane.
Here the group was introduced to the varied and beautiful species of birds and other flora and fauna that inhabit the mangroves. Later the group was taken to the top of the watch tower at the jetty end that provided them with a breathtaking eagle-eye view of this vast and beautiful expanse that can very well be called the lungs of our city.
