This month the social base of Trenca has increased to more than 550 friends. They are (we are) people with a particular concern on the objectives and the works carried out by the association.

 

 

Trenca’s history has had very different stages since it was set up in 1998. In the early years we developed an intense educational activity with the Vallcalent Wildlife Centre, which involved a lot of children friends mainly related to the educational project Fauna and Habitat. As time went on and Trenca evolved to new lines and projects on natural environment management and conservation, about 2008 also a new stage started as regards the friends of the Association.

A good handful of people –now, mostly adults– have become increasingly interested in Trenca at this stage. Little by little they became friends of the entity, and they increased to more than 550 in this same month of April. Besides, Trenca’s Facebook has got more than 700 followers.
