In the next edition of Girona Temps de Flors, LIFE medCLIFFS participates with the Floral Ensemble number 31, located at the Casa-Forn Diputació de Girona. We are expecting you!

During 2024 LIFE medCLIFFS is organising again several field trips, free and exclusively addressed to registered LIFE medCLIFFS volunteers. The third one of this year will be on Saturday, 11th April 2024, and will focus on learning about the alien and invasive flora growing in the coastal habitats of Sant Feliu de Guíxols. The time and meeting point will be arranged through the Telegram group of the LIFE medCLIFFS Volunteering Network. If you are not yet a member, register HERE!

Within the frame of the following "Temps de Flors" in Girona, Sònia Garcia, tenured scientist of the Botanical Institute of Barcelona (IBB-CSIC) and LIFE medCLIFFS project manager, will lecture about "Pretty but complicated: environmental challenges of ornamental plants with invasive behavior". The conference will take place at the Community Center Barri Vell- Mercadal and it will be open to everyone.

During this talk, Neus Ibáñez, herbarium curator of the Botanical Institute of Barcelona, will tell us about the problem with invasive plants and how these affect the Mediterranean cliffs. Additionally, the itinerant exhibition about the project will be relocated to the Municipal Education Center. We are expecting you!

Native, endemic, threatened, exotic, invasive plants… If you are unsure what is what and want help to preserve the biodiversity of coastal habitats, come to the LIFE medCLIFFS route to discover the flora of the Costa Brava! We will observe and learn how to identify native, non-native plants, and those which are invasive and impact the biodiversity and conservation of the cliffs in the Costa Brava. We will enjoy the view of the Gulf of Roses whilst identifying the plants we come across the "Camí de Ronda" until the Canyelles Petites beach. Finally, we will explain how to observe the flora and...

Summer is over and we are back with the 2024 LIFE medCLIFFS field trips! We happily remind you that these field trips are free and exclusively addressed to the registered LIFE medCLIFFS Volunteers. The fifth field trip of this year will be on Saturday, 28th September, and we will focus on the allochthonous and invasive flora growing in Begur, particularly along the coast of Sa Riera. The meeting point will be in front of the same beach at the bar Sa Proa at 11h. Any changes or further details will be notified through the Telegram group, Volunteers' Network LIFE medCLIFFS....

The first field trip of 2025 is here! This time, we will walk and follow a more ethnobotanical route at Cala Murtra, Roses. During the course, we will observe the autochthonous flora of the Myrtle Thicket (habitat 32.218). This is another typical Mediterranean habitat, close to HIC 1240, where we will also keep an eye on the allochthonous and invasive plants that affect and threaten the local flora. There will also be time to explain and provide more information about the LIFE medCLIFFS project, and check how to make observations. This is also a good time to ask and solve...
