The 41st birthday of the Krka National park was celebrated in nature: appropriate activities were designed to encourage young people to undertake a more active role in its protection.
The young nature guards of the Krka National Park, the Junior Rangers, and volunteers, students from the Biology Department of the Faculty of Science, University of Zagreb, once again gathered in the Krka National Park around a topic of common interest: nature. The occasion for the gathering was the celebration of the 41st birthday of the Krka National Park, for which the volunteer biologists prepared interesting workshops and educational games for young people.
In the particularly attractive, youth-friendly interior of the Nature Laboratory at the Krka Eco Campus in Puljane, young researchers discovered interesting facts about nature and the environment through play, laughter, and learning. A simulation of tectonic changes, naturalist tools and equipment, quiz questions, memory games, and brain teasers about plant and animal species, as well as a film about pollinators captured the children's attention.
A special delight was caused by an educational game designed by the biology students, about the way bees communicate: as the basis of their communication, the dance of bees in hives was shown in an interactive way, and then the Junior Rangers took turns in showing bee communication in meadows and in nature in general. Through olfactory experience, the participants were introduced to honey and collected pollen as the most famous bee products. The coloring of drawings of pollinators, which were the main theme of the birthday this year, concluded the first meeting this year of youth in the nature protection of the Park.
In addition to the Junior Rangers of the Krka National Park, the workshops were attended by children and young people from the surrounding settlements, among whom there were certainly future young and grown nature guardians of the Park.
