Young biologists of Children\u2019s Ecology and Nature Study Academy of Feldman Ecopark have returned from summer practical training, which they traditionally had at the Biological Research Station under Karazin Kharkiv National University. It is situated near the village of Haidary in the territory of the National Nature Park \u201cHomilshanski Lisy,\u201d which has no analogues in Sloboda Ukraine by the richness and diversity of flora and fauna.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur young naturalists come to Haidary to have practical training for the seventh year running, and always return to obtain new knowledge and unforgettable experience here. This time, the kids were occupied with the calculation of pond turtles, had excursions of various biotopes, listened to entomology lectures,\u201d the head of the Young Biologists Club under the Children\u2019s Ecology and Nature Study Academy of Feldman Ecopark Anna Pozdniakova told. \u201cField practice is a very important element of biological education, without which it is difficult to imagine the formation of comprehensive knowledge about the nature. The fact that our students learn it before they start their study in specific higher educational institutions, gives them certain advantages for the choice of future profession. Moreover, these field lessons broaden children\u2019s outlook, teach them to love their native land and carefully treat every living thing on the Earth.\u201d<\/p>\n
