ATERRIZAR | Herbário do Território
ATERRIZAR
Multidisciplinary cycle in the places of
São Pedro and Azevedo de Campanhã
The first moment of the ATERRIZAR cycle is called Herbarium of the Territory and takes place during the spring months. Over four practical sessions we will collectively build a Herbarium of São Pedro and Azevedo through observation and collection, identification and scientific classification, illustration, and creative captioning of specimens.
The final result will take the form of a local herbarium documenting the biodiversity of the territory.
