Litter Spotter Clean Up - Wadi Al Abadilah

ABOUT THIS ACTIVITY

Our founding father, the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, has left us a rich, continuing legacy of environmental stewardship and a deep commitment to preserving our nation's natural wonders. I believe that each of us has a role to play in protecting our environment for future generations. It is time to honor his vision and follow in his footsteps!

Prepare for a unique and moving experience as we invite you to protect the creatures that pollinate in Wadi Al-Abadla, Fujairah. At this event, you will have the opportunity to connect with nature, learn about the vital role of pollinators, and actively participate in nature conservation efforts. In the atmosphere of Wadi Al Abadla, we will discover the wonders of this natural haven and learn from experts about the important role played by birds, bats, flies, and butterflies. But it's not just about learning; We will also take direct action by cleaning the place to ensure that the environment remains pristine. 

By participating in the clean-up, you will contribute to improving the health and vitality of this natural gem, and provide support to both wildlife and visitors to the area. Join us for a hands-on event that combines learning, nature conservation, and community connection.
