Voluntary clean-up of paths in Kalafationes

On Sunday 18 April at 09:00 Kalafationes local council, Kalafationes Cultural Society and Kalafationes Voluntary Group are organising a clean-up of local paths for the beautification of the area and to help protect the woodlands against fires.

The clean-up is being supported by the following:

Regional Authority Corfu Department, Central Corfu & Diapontia Islands Municipality, Corfu Fire Department, Corfu Forestry Commission, Corfu Fire Department Union and the Ionian Islands Regional Fire Department Union.

With its natural beauty the Kalafationes area is a unique and enchanting part of the island.

Local organisers said:
"The clean-up aims to promote and protect the area and improve conditions for visitors as well as protecting it against adverse weather conditions. We also want to contribute to care of the environment.

Work to be done:
- Clearing paths
- Removing branches and grass which will be put into shredders to create compost to avoid burning them or having inflammable materials.

Meeting point: Entrance to Silvaland equestrian club.
Near the cement wall on Agios Andreas road
At the pine trees in Kouramos at the entrance to Vourlila.

All health and safety measures will, of course, be observed."
