Our Impact & Activities
Work done by hand, season after season.
Every spring
Annual Village Clean-Up
Each April, members, families and schoolchildren clear litter and illegally dumped waste from the roadsides, dry riverbeds and field edges surrounding Liopetri. Last year more than 120 volunteers collected over four tonnes of waste, which was sorted for recycling in cooperation with the Community Council.
4+ tonnes collected
November – February
Tree Planting in the Famagusta Region
During the rainy season we plant native species — carob, wild olive, Aleppo pine and lentisk — on degraded plots and around wildlife water points. These trees provide shade, food and nesting cover for birds, and help hold the red soil of the Kokkinochoria in place.
2,500 trees since 2015
Before each season
Safe Hunting Seminars
Free seminars, open to members and the public, cover firearm safety, first aid in the field, wildlife identification, Cypriot hunting law and the ethics of fair chase. Sessions are led by experienced members together with officers of the Game and Fauna Service.
300+ attendees yearly
Easter & Christmas
Food Drives for Families in Need
Twice a year we collect and distribute food parcels to low-income families, elderly residents living alone and households facing hardship in Liopetri. Distribution is discreet and coordinated with the local parish and social services.
80 families supported
Year-round
Wildlife Water Points
Through the dry months our volunteers refill and maintain a network of water troughs in the countryside, a lifeline for partridges, hares and migratory birds during the Cypriot summer.
25 troughs maintained

Youth Nature Awareness
Led by our Conservation Organizer, we visit local schools to teach children about Cyprus's native fauna, the importance of habitats and how to respect the countryside.
