What lives in the stones? Field trip to Rocha da Pena
A guided walk to discover how stone walls, earth banks (valados) and terraces (socalcos) are also part of the living landscape of Rocha da Pena. Along the route, the group observes plants, insects and other small inhabitants that find shelter among stones, crevices and vegetation. With accessible explanations and on-the-ground guidance, the activity shows how these rural structures relate to biodiversity and teaches participants to recognise signs that, on an independent walk, might go unnoticed…
