Interpreta Natura

Interpreta Natura is a multidisciplinary team that carries out territorial development projects in protected natural areas, educational-interpretative actions for schoolchildren, environmental campaigns, etc. One of the best practices is “Boscoleta, ¡un baño de bosque!”, which is a program aimed at reconnecting children with nature, particularly after the long period of confinement. The focus is on creating experiences that foster creativity, social development, and physical activity, while also helping children develop a meaningful relationship with nature.

Impact

The Boscoleta initiative promotes a deep reconnection with nature. After the confinement period, many children experienced social isolation and reduced outdoor activities. Through activities like interpretive walks, games, and creative workshops, children develop critical social skills, creativity, and emotional well-being. The program also fosters environmental awareness from a young age, encouraging participants to appreciate and protect their local ecosystems. This experience reinforces community ties by nurturing a collective responsibility toward the environment.

Sustainability

Boscoleta’s focuses on long-term ecological education. By teaching children the value of natural spaces and involving them in conservation efforts, the initiative builds a foundation for future environmental stewardship. The use of local green spaces and the incorporation of sustainable practices ensure that activities have minimal environmental impact. Additionally, children are active participants, which encourages a deeper, lifelong connection with nature. The program helps cultivate future generations that are committed to maintaining and restoring their natural surroundings.
