Established to support afforestation and horticultural initiatives\, the nursery also functions as a center for research\, plant propagation\, and public awareness on biodiversity conservation. Spread across a significant area with well-maintained plots and water sources\, Poaama Nursery provides a mosaic of microhabitats that support diverse flora and fauna. 								\n				\n				\n				\n									Over the years\, the nursery has emerged as a popular birding and eco-tourism spot\, with species ranging from barbets\, bulbuls\, and drongos to seasonal visitors like flycatchers and warblers. Its shaded avenues\, nursery beds\, and adjoining natural vegetation attract both resident and migratory birds\, making it a living classroom for students\, researchers\, and nature enthusiasts. Beyond its ecological value\, Poaama Nursery plays an important role in supplying saplings for regional plantation drives\, contributing to landscape restoration and urban greening efforts across Chhindwara district.								\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Bird Guide: Rohit YadavRohit Yadav\, an engineer by profession\, developed his interest in wildlife\, forests\, and birds through his uncle\, who was a guide at Kanha National Park. His curiosity deepened into a passion in 2017 when he received training from his uncle\, and by 2019\, he began his journey as a naturalist in Ranthambore National Park.

Among the most frequently observed birds are the Ruddy Shelduck\, Little Egret\, Red-wattled Lapwing\, and Black-winged Stilt\, all of which favor the marshy edges and open waters. Waders like the Eastern Cattle Egret\, Pheasant-tailed Jacana\, and Bronze-winged Jacana add to the wetland’s dynamic birdscape\, alongside the elegant River Tern\, Indian Spot-billed Duck\, and Gray-headed Swamphen. 								\n				\n				\n				\n									The agricultural zones attract species such as the Paddyfield Pipit\, Spotted Dove\, Indian Pied Starling\, Grey Francolin\, and Oriental Magpie-Robin. The presence of forest-edge birds like the Plum-headed Parakeet\, Brahminy Starling\, Black Drongo\, and Indian Paradise-Flycatcher underlines the habitat mosaic of the region.

Established to support afforestation and horticultural initiatives\, the nursery also functions as a center for research\, plant propagation\, and public awareness on biodiversity conservation. Spread across a significant area with well-maintained plots and water sources\, Poaama Nursery provides a mosaic of microhabitats that support diverse flora and fauna. 								\n				\n				\n				\n									Over the years\, the nursery has emerged as a popular birding and eco-tourism spot\, with species ranging from barbets\, bulbuls\, and drongos to seasonal visitors like flycatchers and warblers. Its shaded avenues\, nursery beds\, and adjoining natural vegetation attract both resident and migratory birds\, making it a living classroom for students\, researchers\, and nature enthusiasts. Beyond its ecological value\, Poaama Nursery plays an important role in supplying saplings for regional plantation drives\, contributing to landscape restoration and urban greening efforts across Chhindwara district.								\n				\n		\n				\n				\n					Bird Guide: Rohit YadavRohit Yadav\, an engineer by profession\, developed his interest in wildlife\, forests\, and birds through his uncle\, who was a guide at Kanha National Park.
