Forest Dendrology Course
Forest Dendrology consists of the botanical and ecological-cultural study of woody species and the identification and taxonomic classification of the relevant species, as well as the description of their morphological characteristics, ecological-cultural particularities and temperament.ย
This course, promoted by the Cascais Cultural Association and under the guidance of Antรณnio Fabiรฃo, offers a unique opportunity to broaden your knowledge of the various types of trees and shrubs found in the Lisbon region, with a particular focus on the municipalities of Cascais and Sintra.ย
Learn to identify, classify and understand the behavior of these species and discover how essential they are for preserving the environment, local, regional and national culture and our valuable natural heritage.
