Biodiversity Workshops: building shelters and feeders

In the forests and gardens there are many animals that keep nature healthy. These birds, insects and bats ensure pollination, disperse seeds, and help fight pests. All year round they need to find food, shelter, and safe places to reproduce.

In this workshop we'll get to know these animals and use everyday instruments to create bird feeders and insect shelters to help these animals inhabit the spaces around us. Immersed in the forest of the Sintra hills, the Farmyard of Monserrate is the place chosen to come "get your hands dirty" and meet "Nature's little helpers".
