Volunteering on São Miguel with Swiss students

July 18, 2024

Students from Switzerland's International School of Zug and Lucern were on the island of São Miguel, volunteering at Pico do Carvão to remove invasive species, namely Chilean Rhubarb (Gunnera tinctoria).

Over two days, 32 students and three teachers removed 3.76 tonnes of this species in collaboration with the São Miguel Environment and Climate Change Service.

This activity is part of action E5 “Public Involvement and Volunteer Programme” of the LIFE IP AZORES NATURA project.
