Nature Trail- A Nature
​Awareness Initiative

YNN publishes Nature Trail, a
​tri-annual e-magazine brought out by an enthusiastic group of editors, illustrators and designers. Each edition of Nature Trail has a unique theme and relevant articles ranging from interviews with professionals and book reviews to habitat showcases and comic strips. Through Nature Trail, we hope to help young naturalists acquire various skills and ignite curiosity towards the natural world in our readers.

Discussion & Collaboration

YNN offers a forum for young nature enthusiasts to discuss anything related to nature and its myriad life forms. We have several members with knowledge on a wide range of subjects who help others by identifying organisms, offering tips and elaborating on topics of interest to improve understanding.
