SUMMARY:

The national work camp is aimed at young people between 14 and 17 years old from different parts of the territory and is held for 14 days in the municipality of Santa Coloma de Farners. We think globally, we act locally: Improving the biodiversity of wetlands is one of the most affected ecosystems, it is the name of the last field of work focused on recovering the biodiversity of these habitats.

Wetlands are one of the most important habitats, protected at various levels both locally and internationally. That is why through improvement actions such as the removal of fallen trees and plant debris, pruning of low branches, removal of non-native plant species (corn, American cane, etc.), replanting of native plant species and the removal of waste, allows us to achieve the objectives set initially and achieve a reserve of fauna and flora.

In addition to the technical work done in the work camp during the morning, young people enjoy a leisure space in the afternoon where they can have a space to interact, establish links and get to know the local culture.
