During the course of this activity Pedro Trindade will guide us along an easy and accessible trail and have us embark on a journey of the senses, synchronising our rhythm with the forest’s surrounding us, and discovering new ways of connecting with nature.

A team of Monsanto Forest’s Centre of Interpretation will teach us how to build a bird feeder and how to observe life in an insect hotel. Participants are required to bring a used, empty and cleaned milk/juice carton. Children aged 5 and over.

The visit to Fito, guided by the Monsanto Park and Forest team, will show us the workings of a biological Wastewater Treatment Plant, the different phases in the treatment of Lisbon’s sewage waters and all the advantages that this system of water re-usage brings.

Guided by a team of Monsanto Forest’s Centre of Interpretation we will build photographic slides from natural resources and then explore the diverse materials present in them. Children aged 6 and over.

During this guided visit Fernando Louro Alves will help us explore the marshland near the “Nature Reserve of the Tagus Estuary”. This ecosystem is characterised by its dependence on the flow of the tides, alternating between periods of flooding and periods of stagnant water. As a result of the mixture of the river’s current and salt water, this marshland exhibits a particularly salt-resistant vegetation. We recommend wearing boots and bringing binoculars for this activity.

During the course of this workshop, we will learn a plant nursery’s objectives, from the construction of greenhouses and the preparation of land with its substrate to the several methods of production and maintenance techniques. This activity will be lead by the team of Monsanto Forest’s Centre of Interpretation but it takes place at Quinta de São Cristóvão.

Guided by the Centre’s team, this nighttime stroll will see us roam the carpeted trails of Monsanto while listening to nocturnal bird species, and from atop an observation tower, witness wildlife around an artificial lagoon. Participants are required to bring a flashlight.
