THANK YOU ALL FOR PARTICIPATING. WE WILL CONTINUE TO ORGANISE MORE EVENTS TO CONSERVE THE CANTABRIAN DUNES. STAY TUNED[/box]
On Saturday 21st May 2016 the Life+ARCOS team invites you to join us to carry out volunteering action to remove some invasive exotic species on the Verdicio Beach (Luanco, Asturias), a protected space that is included within the Cabo Busto-Luanco Special Area of Conservation (SAC ES1200055), and therefore is part of the Network of Protected Spaces included in the Natura 2000 Network.
If you do not live in Asturias, Life+ARCOS is also holding other activities on the same day in Cantabria and in the Basque Country. Stay tuned to our website where we will post more information shortly.
What will we be doing?
The idea is to be able to spend a Saturday in a natural protected space, and to help improve its state of conservation, with the assistance of citizen participation. Various members of the Life+ARCOS team will be present in Verdicio, T. E. Díaz, Álvaro Bueno, Nacho Felpete, Elena Fernández and other people. We will talk about the space and will give you instructions on how to remove some particularly problematic invasive species that are tricky to remove manually.
How long will it last?
The plan is for everyone interested in participating to already be in Verdicio by 11:00 am. Our intention is to close the day by around 3 pm, so that participants can either stay to eat or return home with no problem.
Schedule: 11:00 to 15:00
How can I take part?
Fill out this registration form so you will be covered by the insurance that we take out with the University of Oviedo. It is essential for us to have the names of participants and their national identity document. In Verdicio we will ask you to sign a participation sheet to make sure our list coincides.
Use the form fields to give any additional information such as if you can share a car to reach the location, for example, or if you will be accompanied by children, and above all: an e-mail address or telephone number so we can contact you.
Contact us with any queries on the following contact page. We will be delighted to help.
Over the coming days we will publish more information with more details.
TAKE PART!
The Life+ARCOS team
