Young people to assist in forest management and environmental preservation of the Sintra Mountains

The Sintra City Council is launching the 'Guardians of the Sintra Forest' project to involve local youth in forest management and environmental conservation. The initiative brings together 20 scout and guide groups to manage an eight-hectare area within the Sintra-Cascais Natural Park, focusing on ecological restoration, fire prevention, and the planting of 20 native species. The project is supported by the Institute for Nature Conservation and Forests and includes a fundraising campaign through the sale of animal calendars to support the participating groups.
