8.00h-19.00 h Botanical excursion – Montseny biosphere reserve (We will go by bus from School of Pharmacy) (Dr. Josep Vicens, Dr. Angels Bonet and Dr. Francisco Pérez)A one-day field trip will be held to Montseny massif, located in the North of Catalan Prelittoral Range. The region comprises a surface of around 800 km2, and has a population of approximately 80,000. Montseny massif is a Natural Park, and from 1978 it is one of the Biosphere Reserves included in the network of UNESCO's program "Man and Biosphere”.

Four main reasons led us to choose this place: 1) It is just 50 km far from Barcelona. 2) Irrespective of the proximity to a big urban area its flora is very rich (around 1,500 vascular plant species) and reasonably well kept. 3) In a relatively short altitudinal transect, from sea level to 1700 m, we can observe the most important European landscape, with communities representing Mediterranean, Euro-siberian and Boreo-Alpine vegetation. 4) The massif is very rich in useful, especially medicinal plants (more than 500 are known and used by people in this zone).
