Leave No Trace Walk - Ordem dos Engenheiros

The North Regional Council of the College of Environmental Engineering, in partnership with Quokka, is organising a hike on 16 September in Serra d'Arga.

With this activity, the North Regional Council of the College of Environmental Engineering will provide participants with contact with nature and at the same time teach the 7 principles of "Leave no trace", encouraging responsibility in recreational activities in nature.

At each principle, the group will stop for a short 5-minute activity, as the aim is to enjoy nature. During the snack break, a mountain tea will be made with mountain herbs and through a fire with no impact. This will be the moment to work on the principle of fire.

The Guides

Daniela Amorim is an Environmental Engineer, a Girl Scout for over 20 years and a mountaineering practitioner. She loves nature and knows all the necessary techniques to develop a mountain activity. She will be the guide of the mountain techniques workshops and the guide of the whole trail. She will be joined by a guest to talk about the natural heritage of Serra d'Arga. Believing that nature is our true home, she will convey to you everything that the path allows. You will also have the opportunity to learn more about nature photography with her, take your camera.

Ângela Fernandes, a certified walking guide, will be the group guide for this route. Completely passionate about nature, especially flora, she brings with her all the knowledge of botany and medicinal plants that add value to our days.

She does not dispense a good walk, and a good adventure, as such, it is a natural enthusiasm to hear her speak during these group moments.
