Objective: The MOVE for NATURE hikes and clean-up actions is a network of free events celebrating the joy of moving outdoors at your own pace – joining physical activity with clean-up action. Through hiking and physical activity in nature, the MOVE4NATURE project also promotes healthy lifestyles, inclusion, and intergenerational exchange. The project uses outdoor sports, particularly hiking, as a tool to teach youth, and adults, about the importance of environmental protection and climate action. To restore cleanliness in the countryside and promote bringing back garbage and the “leave no trace” message, participants of our MOVE4NATURE initiative will organise hiking events for a good cause.
