On October 16, NNP Dniester Canyon and the CAT (Community Action Team) Volunteerism Club from Zalishchyky Gimnasia organized a joint ecological expedition entitled 'Clear Shores'. On that lovely autumn day, the students of Grades 5, 8, 9 and 10 went to Syvulyna Ravine along the Dniester River, in the vicinity of Ivane-Zolote Village.

Syvulyna Ravine is among the most picturesque areas within the NPP boundaries. The steep slopes really catch your eye with their bright splashes of autumn color. The hills consist of Devon formations aged about 380 million years.

Having cleaned the area, the students, assisted by Mr. Kelly, installed and pained a sign that reads: Let no one say, and say it to your shame, that all was beauty here until you came!
