Environmental Learning On 27th February 2026, the 4th group of preschool children from the Giriulla Pradeshiya Sabha area visited the Lanka Mangrove Museum and Learning Center as part of an environmental education program.

This visit was organized in line with the new education reforms aimed at nurturing environmental awareness from an early age. During their visit, the children explored the museum exhibits and were introduced to the importance of mangrove ecosystems, biodiversity, and environmental conservation.

On August 6, 2025, a group of enthusiastic students from K/Hewaheta Central College, Mahanuwara, visited the Lanka Mangrove Museum as part of their educational field trip. The visit provided an immersive experience into the world of mangrove ecosystems and their importance in environmental conservation.

On April 30, 2025, the Lanka Mangrove Museum was once again delighted to welcome a second group from Ratnapura Rahula National School. This time, 56 students accompanied by 8 teachers made the journey to learn more about Sri Lanka’s precious mangrove ecosystems.

Their visit marked the second from the same school within the same week, underscoring the growing interest in environmental education and the museum’s role as a valuable learning hub. The students were warmly received by the museum staff and began their tour by exploring the interactive exhibits that highlight the biodiversity, ecological importance, and conservation efforts surrounding mangrove forests.

One of the key components of the visit was an informative session held at the museum’s auditorium. There, the students watched educational videos and participated in discussions that deepened their understanding of the critical role mangroves play in climate regulation, coastal protection, and supporting marine life.

The visit provided the students not only with scientific knowledge but also with a sense of responsibility and inspiration to protect nature. The teachers appreciated the hands-on and engaging approach used by the museum to connect young minds with environmental issues.

The Lanka Mangrove Museum is honored to be a destination for such enthusiastic young learners and looks forward to continuing its mission of educating and empowering future environmental leaders.
