A field visit conducted by the Department of Forestry and Environmental Science as part of a rural sociology initiative serves as a valuable opportunity to bridge theoretical knowledge with practical experience. Such excursions contribute significantly to the holistic education of students, offering a firsthand glimpse into the social dynamics and environmental intricacies of rural communities.
During these field visits, participants have the chance to immerse themselves in the daily life of rural areas in Meemure, gaining insights into the unique challenges and opportunities these communities face. Observing the interplay between forestry, environmental science, and the social fabric of rural societies allows participants to appreciate the complex relationships that shape sustainable living practices under the guidance of Prof. Sunethra Thennakoon.
