11 – How many colors are there in the Paiva Walkways?
#segundociclo
The Paiva Walkways take us to discover the deep Paiva Valley, sculpted by the force of the river’s waters over quartzite and conglomerate rocks. The riparian galleries, made up of various trees and shrubs, provide habitats for thousands of species and lots of essential raw materials for man. Protecting these galleries and our forest is fundamental to maintaining biodiversity and human life itself! Along the way, students will observe some species of trees and have the opportunity to reflect on their importance and the need to protect them. Because in order to protect, you need to know!
