Nos Zoizos forest hike

Binoculars, magnifying glass, topographical map... take on the role of a scientist and help us research the zoizos of our forests. Departing from Le Tévelave, we'll start the day with an introduction to birdwatching. Once participants are equipped, we'll head out into the field to observe, listen and count birds. We'll climb through a forest of colored wood and cryptomeria. We'll have a picnic in the field before heading back down to the kiosks.
