practice. The remaining time will be spent hiking in Jigme Dorji National Park to observe the diverse flora throughout the different habitats.
The 39 page report describes their extensive travels, with many exciting photographs of the plants and landscape they experienced. You can read their report in full on our Bursary page, and find out how plants are used (or not) in Bhutan by the citizens there. Many more reports from the HPS Bursary Scheme are available in our bursary library.
