The Project is implemented by the association OHO, and it relates to conserving biodiversity, by educating and applying non-formal education practices. This Project presents a new concept of learning about biodiversity and nature on local level through a series of educational practices and activities. The Project aims at developing an educational trail and a classroom in nature. On this trail educational boards will be placed which will contain information about the features of the species which live on those sites, but also in the region.
