The Forestry Department has announced the release to the public of a smartphone application aimed at informing and guiding visitors to the two national forest parks of Athalassa and the Pedagogical Academy.
The Department said in a press release that the purpose of the application, created with Frederick University, is to enhance the visitor experience by providing access to information about the two parks, their infrastructure, provided services, and points of interest, while promoting their safe, responsible, and enjoyable use.
