Celebrating World Wetlands Day on February 2, the Terra Lemnia project in collaboration with the Hellenic Ornithological Society and under the auspices of MedWet, organized a series of targeted educational activities in two primary schools in Lemnos.
On February 6, Roula Triggou, MSc Forester-Environmentalist and Coordinator for educational and maintenance actions of the Hellenic Ornithological Society visited the Primary School of Kontopouli, where she gave a thorough presentation about wetlands and the natural environment of Lemnos to the children and teachers.
