Bird Box Building

The Municipality of Aljezur promoted, last Thursday, April 14, 2022, two nest box construction workshops, with the collaboration of the Vita Nativa Association – Nature Conservation, responsible for the Local Bird Housing Project, which aims at the installation and maintenance of nest boxes, in order to promote the diversity of birds throughout the Algarve region, environmental conservation and nature conservation.

They were held in two distinct periods, one aimed at the younger population and had the collaboration of AMOVATE – Association of Residents and Friends of the Valley of Telha, and another directed to the senior population of the municipality of Aljezur in collaboration with Tertúlia – Socio Cultural Association of Aljezur.

The activity consisted of the construction of nest boxes, which were later installed in the enclosures where the activities were held (Vale da Telha and Serominheiro) in the municipality of Aljezur, and will be monitored by the technicians of the Vita Nativa Association.

In this activity the importance of the bird species present in our county was explained, such as the chapim, demonstrating all the benefits that the fixations of these species bring to society and its well-being.

This initiative aimed to promote nature conservation, disseminate and enhance the natural heritage, as well as contribute to active participation in the Defence of the environment, providing a more direct contact of the population.

Amovate Support Local Charity Again

The Charity, St. Vincente de Paul Society, are at the moment supporting 30 families for Christmas Dinner.  Amovate have decided to help out again by donating €500 towards this cause.

Last year the numbers were fewer, but since the pandemic more families have fallen on difficult times and Amovate agree that Christmas should be enjoyed by all.

 Amovate asked people who were attending the Party on the 4th December (which unfortunately is cancelled due to the new Government Rules on Covid), to take something along to help in this time of need.  Perhaps there are people who still wish to donate gifts (non perishable items) no matter how small, and as usual the box at the Restaurante Fonte Do Vale is still in place just inside the door of the front porch. Hopefully these gestures will make things a bit better for the families over the Festive period.

We have also been asked if we will accept cash donations, well the answer is yes!.   If you make contact by emailing info@amovate.com we will be happy to make that arrangement. Your details will be passed onto Amovate’s Treasurer who will be happy to give the Bank Details so transfers can be made.

Last year Amovate supported the same cause and many people, some non members, donated food and non-perishable items,  which was much appreciated.

 Thanking you all in anticipation of your help
