LIFE BEETLES welcomes a group of small volunteers on World Tree Day!

April 24, 2024

To mark World Tree Day, the LIFE BEETLES project welcomed a group of small volunteers from the “O Ninho” Kindergarten, through the collaboration of Europe Direct – Azores and the Science Centre of Angra do Heroísmo, on the island of Terceira.

This action took place in the intervention area TER3, where an exotic eucalyptus forest, meanwhile removed through clear cutting by the LIFE BEETLES project, will give way to a native forest, through the planting of native flora species.

With the help of these small volunteers, it was possible to plant over 80 native trees (Azorean Viburnum and Firetree)!
