School of naturalists for children 2023
The School of Naturalists is designed for all children and young people between 6 and 12 years old who like nature and/or want to learn more about everything that surrounds it.
The Emys Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to the conservation of nature, especially wetlands and the pond turtle (Emys orbicularis), through different tools: research, management, conservation, education and awareness.
The entity works to help local actors to make a sustainable management of the territory through its custody, promoting agroecology, sustainable forest management, environmental education and ecotourism.
The Emys Foundation works for the study, protection and dissemination of the natural and cultural heritage linked to the natural environment. It does so through the custody of territory especially forest, agricultural and wetland areas.
We encourage long-term conservation of biodiversity so that landowners, managers, experts and users of the territory take an active part in its sustainable management.
To fulfill its aims, the Emys Foundation promotes environmental volunteer networks and promotes, in particular, the conservation of the natural heritage among young people and groups at risk of social exclusion.

Can Moragues
The Can Moragues space is a rural estate located in Riudarenes that the Emys Foundation has restored to turn it into its nerve center. In Can Moragues you can come for a walk around the estate knowing more details about our nature, participate in leisure activities, workshops, training or also come to buy or make a good meal in harmony with nature.
