The LIFE Predator Project works to combat the spread of the Wels catfish, an alien and invasive species.
As part of the Project, some funds from the European Community have been allocated for raising awareness among adults and young people about the impact of species introduced by humans on natural environments.
Description
The fish fauna
Starting from the appearance of fish, we will follow their evolution up to today's fish, and then address the topic of invasive species and the Life Predator project, with particular reference to the Wels catfish.
Methodology
Two hours of classroom lessons.
Excursion to Lake Piccolo in Avigliana to discover the environment in which the catfish has settled.
A easy walk along the shores of Lake Piccolo will allow us to grasp
the key features of this particular habitat. We will talk about the fish that
populate it and the threats they face, then we will engage in an educational activity involving drawing and imagination to hypothesize the future evolution.
A game will allow us to get moving and understand how the catfish influences local fish populations.
Recommended period
It is possible to carry out the activity in all seasons.
Duration
Meeting in class for 2 consecutive hours
Field trip for the entire day
Trasporti
The Avigliana Lakes Natural Park can be reached by train and/or bus.
For those arriving by train, there is a public bus service from the railway station (for the schedules click here)
Cost covered by the school
Recommended equipment
- Long pants
- Hiking boots or shoes with non-slip, waterproof soles (due to the possible presence of mud along the path).
- Small backpack with packed lunch and water bottle
- Ticks and mosquito repellent
- Rain jacket
The activities are free until seats run out.
