The “Environmental Protection for Youth” programme by Friends of Olympus National Park aims to improve the sense of belonging among students aged 10-18 through engagement in environmental stewardship activities. Participants regularly take part in nature walks, conservation projects, and community clean-up events, fostering a connection to their local environment. Educational workshops and citizen science projects enhance their understanding of local ecology and biodiversity. Environmental advocacy campaigns encourage students to take an active role in protecting their natural surroundings. These activities build a sense of community, responsibility, and pride in contributing to the preservation of Olympus National Park.
