Next Sunday, 15 November, a new environmental volunteering day will take place in La Graciosa as part of the LIFE INSULAR project, focusing on learning about dune vegetation, the responsible collection of seeds and the production of seed balls.
The activity will begin with a walking route from Caleta del Sebo to the vegetable garden area, during which common plant species will be identified and the importance of seeds in the natural regeneration of dunes will be explained, as well as the adaptations and dispersal strategies of these plants.
Afterwards, at the vegetable garden in La Graciosa, participants will make seed balls for their possible use in future authorised environmental restoration activities.
