First teams sponsor runs sign up

Earpiece fences and Green Left for the Bird Atlas

The first teams are signing up for our sponsored runs for nature and landscape this summer. On 10 September, team Oortjeshekken and team Groen Links Nijmegen will run for a favourite bird from the Bird Atlas of Sovon Vogelonderzoek. The Thomashuizen Elst and Molenhoek are going to walk for a new pedestrian bridge in the Duivelsberg nature reserve.

Team Oortjeshekken runs for the house sparrow. The sparrow is on the ‘red list’ of species that are not doing well in the Netherlands. Team Groen Links Nijmegen is running for the Green Woodpecker. Sovon Bird Research itself runs with a team for the Barn Swallow. If a team collects at least €100, the name of the team will be published next to the bird in question in the Atlas.

The Bird Atlas plays an important role in monitoring bird populations in the Netherlands. As Walk of Walk of Wisdom , we want to help pay for its publication. Other sponsored runs on the route are in front of the Stevenskerk (18 July) and a new pedestrian bridge in Beek (27 August). The Thomashuizen Elst and Molenhoek have signed up just before this bridge.

Would you also like to participate in one of the sponsored runs on the Walk of Wisdom? You can also sponsor on your own. Check out https://walkofwisdom.org/zomerpelgrimage.html
