A variety of purposeful activities
The activities and programs offered at each center, reserve, or site vary depending on what each contains. There are many targeted and attractive activities and events, which start with the receiving and welcoming of families who are then divided into groups. Under the care of an expert guide, groups tour the sites and are acquainted with what each one covers and their impressive biodiversity. This is followed by the presentation of educational workshops and competitions.
