The LIFE BEETLES promoted an environment volunteering action of control and removal of invasive flora on the Eucaliptal do Algar do Carvรฃo intervention area, on Terceira island, as part of the Ecology Day celebration.
The activity had 19 volunteers from the Olhar Poente Academy, youngsters between 11 and 13 years of age, who had the opportunity to learn a little more about the importance of ๐ฉ๐ข๐ฃ๐ช๐ต๐ข๐ต conservation and the projectโs target species, as well as the dangers and difficulties that invasive species bring to ecosystems.
This action, in addition to allowing a didactic interaction between young people and nature, contributed as support to the work of control and removal of invasive plants already carried out by the project, also helping in the extraction of seeds of Wild Ginger (๐๐ฆ๐ฅ๐บ๐ค๐ฉ๐ช๐ถ๐ฎ ๐จ๐ข๐ณ๐ฅ๐ฏ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ช๐ข๐ฏ๐ถ๐ฎ) accumulated in the soil.
