An Integrated Natural Space

The Ecological Protection Zone of the Vale da Amoreira Horticultural Park represents an area dedicated to environmental preservation and enhancement within an urban context. It was designed with the objective of safeguarding local ecosystems, offering an example of how nature can coexist and thrive even in populated areas. This project aims to promote ecological balance and environmental health.

Hydrological and Environmental Rehabilitation

One of the central aspects of this zone is the intervention carried out on the watercourse that flows through it. Actions were implemented to restore and stabilize the banks of the watercourse, protecting them from erosion and ensuring the maintenance of their natural hydrological regime. This rehabilitation is fundamental for the ecosystem's integrity and for the preservation of biodiversity associated with riparian environments.

Trails and Discoveries

For visitors, an interpretive trail has been created, inviting exploration and understanding of the local habitat. Along this path, there are strategically positioned observation points, offering a privileged perspective on the riparian environment, the plant and animal life that develops along the watercourse banks. It is an opportunity to discover and learn about the characteristic flora and fauna of this wetland area.
