On 6 November the SOS Cagarro campaign calls on people on Pico to join a volunteer brigade that rescues and protects juvenile cagarros, the Cory's shearwaters that nest on the Azores. Anyone can take part, and it is one of the few ways a visitor can do something useful for the islands' wildlife rather than just watch it. The listing gives no meeting point or time, so contact the campaign before going.
Practical information
On Pico; the listing gives no meeting point. Pico's buses are sparse, so expect to need a car or taxi.
An outdoor activity; if the weather is bad, check with the organisers whether it goes ahead.
