Nature Among the Graves: An Ecological Walk through South Park Street Cemetery

Read a vanished wetland — discover how the ground beneath these 250-year-old tombs still behaves like the wetland it once was, visible in the soil, the plants, and the way the oldest structures are slowly sinking. Moss, lichen and living stone — get close to colonies that may be decades or centuries old, learn to read the ecological war playing out on every tomb surface. Colonial botany decoded — learn why the British planted the specific trees they did. Bird life in an unexpected habitat — resident and seasonal species that have made this enclosed green island their territory, observed and identified along the way. Believed to be the first walk of its kind in India — not heritage, not birding, not a garden tour — an ecological reading of a historic urban site conducted by a field ecologist
