Protection of landscape and natural values

It is especially important for us to promote the experience gaining about the wonderful diversity of the living and inanimate nature.

Nature protection

We would like to offer alternatives for solving environmental problems on local, regional and country-wide levels, and also we would like us to be able to build them into our daily lives. As a consequence of the urbanization a new form of pollution, the light pollution has emerged; and because of that we draw attention towards the wonders of the natural sky with our programs.

Knowledge dissemination

Based on the needs for a healthier and a more livable environment, we organize open air school programs, knowledge disseminating lectures, guided tours, courses and workshops.

Leisure time activities for every age group

We would like to make everyone move and preferably in nature, thus we organize hiking and cycling tours, caving and climbing programs on a monthly basis in Hungary and in the neighboring countries.

Promotion of volunteering

Beyond the implementation of nature and environmental protection works, our main goal is to encourage the voluntary nature and environmental protection activities, and so that to educate local communities and usually the younger age group on environmental awareness and social sensitivity.
