Discovering the endemic plants of Corvo's coastline The SPEA
carried out the 23rd of August one more environmental education activity
included in the program “Science and holidays” in Corvo. This was the second
field trip where the little corvine people (a total of 6 participants) could
learn in situ the secrets of the
native flora of the Azores coastline.

Students tested their observational skills and identified which plant species form the coastal vegetal community, as well as the most important environmental factors affecting this habitat and the pollinators with a key role in the reproduction of these plants.
To finish, the kids developed their observational skills through the representation of a plant present there, as Azorina vidalii, endemic genre of Azores flora.
