Activity description

The GEPEC-EdC is an NGO for the Conservation of Nature, fauna and flora. Non-profit and independently, for more than 35 years, we have been working to improve the environment and protect our natural heritage, thanks to the support and commitment of many people. At GEPEC-EdC we focus on reporting actions that harm the environment, while promoting the dissemination and awareness of the local environment through an extensive program of activities. The Naturalist Schools of the GEPEC-EdC are a space for the rogue to learn about nature, study it through play and experience it first-hand.
