The Natural History Museum of the Lesvos Petrified Forest (Greek: Μουσείο Φυσικής Ιστορίας Απολιθωμένου Δάσους Λέσβου) is a geological museum located in the village of Sigri on the island of Lesbos in Greece. Established in 1994, it is a center for the study, management, and preservation of the petrified forest of Lesbos and for public education about the site. It is a founding member of the European Geoparks Network and is a member of UNESCO's Global Geoparks Network.
We are all looking forward to a walk, an excursion, an escape to nature to enjoy the beauty of the landscapes, the geological formations and the biodiversity of our planet.
Who would want though a planet full of plastic and rubbish?
Who would prefer to find garbage instead of flowers and aromatic plants while walking in the forest?
Who would like collecting plastic bottles instead of shells while diving into the sea or swimming between plastic bags instead of fish?
Who would want being on vacation but not being able to breathe fresh air, find clean beaches or beautiful places for walking and playing?
“RECYCLING” is the solution for less garbage, for a cleaner environment and it must be our most important goal!
During the week that we celebrate the European Geoparks, we can make a start!
