The Club of Young Biologists of the Regional Landscape Park together with Lviv Ecology and Naturalist Centre carried out a two-week expedition to Skolivski Beskydy, where the young naturalists were able to see the unique nature of the Carpathians and to take part in educational events.
The expedition, which lasted from July 4 to July 17, was organized for eleven young naturalists aged 9-16 who attend the Club of Young Biologists under the Children’s Ecology and Nature Study Academy of Feldman Ecopark. “The expedition was mainly devoted to medicinal herbs, which the Carpathian eco-system is rich with. The Young naturalists learned to collect material and to dry it for the future storage, they also found out how the medicinal plants are applied in pharmacology and medicine,” the head of the Club of Young Biologists Anna Pozdniakova told.
Moreover, during two weeks spent in the expedition, the young naturalists visited the Kamianka waterfall and Dead Lake, climbed Zahar Berkut Mountain (1,242m) and Parashka Mountain (1,268m.) They also took part in master classes in stone painting, creation of articles using natural materials, and creation of kites. In addition, the flora and fauna study lessons were carried out in English for the younger biologists. The participants of the expedition attended the celebration of Kupala Night, and the competitions “Master Chef” and “Miss Zelemianka 2017.”
