LIFE BEETLES celebrates National Blood Donor Day with an interpretive walk

April 23, 2025

Contact with nature and physical exercise are fundamental to adopting a healthy lifestyle.

To mark National Blood Donor Day and as part of the One Day for Life initiative, the LIFE BEETLES project, coordinated by the Regional Secretariat for the Environment and Climate Action, was challenged by the Terceira Island Blood Donors Association to organise an interpretive walk involving a class from the EBI de Angra do Heroísmo.

After a briefing on the themes of the commemorative day, the LIFE BEETLES project sensitised the young people to the importance of LIFE projects in the Region, to nature conservation and to the work carried out by the project along the Furnas do Enxofre-Algar do Carvão trail.

During the tour, the importance of Terceira island's geological heritage was also highlighted in collaboration with the Azores Geopark.
