Briefing
Santiago de Compostela, 1 November 2026 — A group of trainees from the Centro de Formación e Experimentación Agraria (CFEA) in Becerreá visited the Serra do Courel as part of a practical educational activity. According to a press release from the Consellería do Medio Rural of the Xunta de Galicia the participants took a field walk this week through Devesa da Rogueira and visited the Aula da Natureza de Moreda in the municipal area of Folgoso do Courel.
The participants are enrolled in the training courses “Aproveitamento e Conservación do Medio Natural” and “Xestión Forestal e do Medio Natural”. The aim of the field trip was to put into practice the knowledge acquired in class about species identification, habitat studies and environmental education methods. The authority emphasises that activities of this kind strengthen the link between theoretical teaching and practical fieldwork, thereby developing skills for the sustainable management of natural forest areas.
Devesa da Rogueira is considered one of the significant native woodland areas of the Serra do Courel; the Aula da Natureza de Moreda serves as an education and information centre for guided nature outings in the surrounding area. Both sites are in the province of Lugo and are regularly used in regional education programmes, according to the Consellería’s announcement.
The press release gives no specific participant numbers, detailed information on follow-up measures or funding details. Claims about longer-term employment effects or measurable environmental impacts therefore cannot be substantiated. This article is based on the official announcement from the Consellería do Medio Rural dated 1 November 2026; the editorial team did not require further independent confirmation, as this was a local educational event that clearly took place in Galicia.
The matter is regional in nature, with a clear connection to Galicia and its local education centres. Editorial assessment and linguistic clarifications were made, particularly in relation to German specialist terminology and grammar (e.g. when translating course names and official titles).
