FERAL, along with ATREE and NCBS established a field station in Nilgiri's in 2012. The field station is located within the Tamil Nadu Electricity Board colony at Avalanche. The EB has been very supportive of our field station which has allowed us to have all the amenities close to our field sites in the Nilgiri South forest. This field station catered to the Changing Water Cycle project, supported by the Ministry of Earth Sciences, Government of India. Since then, many more projects have been implemented and we continue our forest hydrology monitoring
Facilities
The station comprises of a small office-cum-lab and a couple of rooms. There is a functional kitchen cum dining and a team of six can stay here comfortably.
