The Erasmus+ funded Move4Nature project is a network of local events across Europe. Each event features a hike paired with a trail clean-up.
With the support of sports organisations and active Europeans, we are collecting kilometres and kilograms of waste with the ambitious goal of making our continent cleaner, more active, and healthier.
In 2025, we gathered:

Why Move4Nature?
Sports, physical activity, and a healthy, clean Europe are essential for the well-being of Europeans. Did you know?
46% of Europeans never exercise, and this number is increasing.
Around 300,000 people die prematurely each year due to air pollution.
Each European produces about 5 tonnes of waste every year.
Inspiration & mascot of the project
The Eurasian lynx used to live across most of continental Europe, but by the 1850s, it was almost extinct. Today, the Eurasian lynx is protected under international agreements like CITES Appendix II and the Berne Convention, which help conserve European wildlife.
For the Move4Nature team, the lynx represents the urgent need to protect nature and take action to care for our planet. It symbolises wilderness and movement and can be found in all four countries of the partnership: Slovenia, Romania, Lithuania, and Sweden.
