Botanical research group
Research and knowledge section on mountain's flora
The research and knowledge group for the flora of Muntanya i Natura is born.
This section of Mountain and Nature is aimed at learning about the flora and vegetation of the territory, especially of the northeast of Catalonia and the eastern Pyrenees. The group is made up of people like you and me, passionate about flora and nature, curious and learning about everything.
During the year, we will go on several botanical hiking trips aimed at discovering the floral species of a previously chosen location, learning to identify them and contributing to knowledge through citizen science platforms.
It is aimed at anyone who likes nature, without the need for any prior knowledge of flora or botany.
