The name and work of Gonçalo Ribeiro Telles reaches much further than the Gulbenkian Garden, for example to the Green Corridor that links the Foundation to Monsanto. What connects these two projects with the Portuguese landscape? What is the Lisbon Ecological Structure and why is it important? What influence do factors like the climate, soil, geology, water, and solar exposure have on the vegetation that grows in a particular area?
This bicycle ride will help you explore these questions, recognise and identify bio-indicator species and understand the dynamics of the natural landscape.
