The roots of Menorca / Botanical Workshop
Lead by Pere Fraga, botanics & biodiversity specialist from the Minorcan Institute of Studies
From the 17th to the 20th October – From the 7th to the 10th November

During this 4-day intensive workshop we will study the vascular flora of the Island, exploring the characteristics of its vegetation landscape, its main vegetation communities, and the endemic and singular flora of the island, as well as on the interaction between it and man. The programme will begin with a theory session in order to learn the main characteristics of the Island's Flora: origin, biogeography, conditions, state of conservation…The rest of activities will be field trips to become acquainted with different environments and their singularities. In this way, the routes will allow us to end up knowing well a cove, a wetland, the aridity of the northern coast whipped by the wind of Tramontana, the southern dune system…

This workshop will be led by Pere Fraga, member of the Menorcan Institute of Studies, who has ample professional experience in botany (floristic and taxonomic), conservation and biodiversity management, invasive alien plants control, gardening, sensitization, and social communication on ecological lines.

In order to participate in this workshop you do not need specific studies. It is aimed towards a public which isn't specialized but which has a keen interest on the subject. For this reason, we have carefully selected the guides, all of which have a specialized scientific background and, at the same time, good communication skills.
