ENVIRONMENTAL WORKCAMP
Ebro Delta - August 2007
Organized with the Fundation Territori I Paisatje de la Caixa Catalunya and SEO/BirdLife,
it took place in the Ebro Delta between the 2nd and the 15th of august 2007.
Fifteen young Catalans between 18 and 30 years old participated.
The main objective was the restoration of natural habitats of the Old Salines of Sant Antoni.
They cleaned the greenhouse and the surroundings of the buildings, measured the depth of the pounds of the old fish farm,
identified aquatic animals, constructed a visual fence to protect the birds,
learned to construct bird nests and assisted to a bird ringing.
They also collaborated with the Natural Park of the Ebro Delta eliminating invasive plants of the Delta’s dunes.
During the afternoons, they could enjoy the Delta’s surroundings making bike’s excursions, watching birds,
swimming on the different beaches and also climbing on the Sierra del Montsià.
Extract of messages left by the participants:
“An occasion unique to discover and know the Delta and Ebro Countries.
Live the nature from very near, in community and in a social and rural ambient unforgettable.
It should be done more work camps like this one in all the natural parks and villages known in Catalonia.”
