Public presentation

21 June 2011

 
Dona, our mascot, is almost one year old. Full of strength and stamina, she loves running through the woods along animal trails. She also reminds us that the first anniversary of Fragas do Mandeo is approaching. To publicize what we’ve achieved so far, we’ve scheduled a series of public activities for early next month.

Picture of the leaflet of Fragas do MandeoIn order to spread the word about the anniversary and objectives of our entity, we have published a poster and a leaflet. If you want to help us by handing it out to your customers, workmates or members of your sports club or cultural association, please contact us. In section Contact you can find the necessary information.

Presentation ceremony

On Friday July 1st, at 8.00 p.m. in the Blue Room of the Liceo de Betanzos, we will talk about what land stewardship is and the work done in the first year of the nature conservation fund of As Marinas.

To liven up the event, the talk will be accompanied by two slide shows by specialists in photographing nature. The first will be a session of waterfowl images, taken by Álvaro Fernández Polo and Antonio Ramos Souto, allowing us to better understand the avifauna of the Ría de Betanzos and Galicia. The second one will consist of photographs of flora and fauna of the River Mandeo taken by Manuel Cañás.

Taking action

This activity has been authorised by the Dirección Xeral de Conservación da Natureza of Xunta de Galicia (Nature Conservation Agency) and by Demarcación de Costas de Galicia of Ministerio de Medio Ambiente y Medio Rural y Marino (Galician Coast Department), with the collaboration of Concello de Miño (Council of Miño) for waste transport and disposal.

Give us support

Also on Sunday July 3rd, from 11.00 a.m. to 2.30 p.m. in the Praza do Campo (Betanzos), we will hold a solidarity flea market to raise funds for land stewardship in As Mariñas. You can shop for bargains of all kinds (crafts, books, gifts, etc.), and even to contribute by donating the things you have at home that you don’t really need, but haven’t yet thrown away because they are new or in good condition.
