Spanish term or phrase: raid ambiental
Todo ello puede conllevar menos oportunidades de experimentar actividades gratificantes aumentando la posibilidad de aislamiento y disminuyendo considerablemente la calidad de vida.
El Aula en la Naturaleza es una iniciativa, que mezcla formación (sesiones presenciales para padres, pacientes y para ambos sobre los aspectos más relevantes de la EII) y ocio (rafting, paintball, raid ambiental, tirolina, escalada, parque arbóreo, juegos acuáticos y fiesta de disfraces) en un ambiente inmejorable donde las familias y los pacientes pueden interactuar, durante todo un fin de semana, entre ellas y con los especialistas que forman parte del equipo multidisciplinar encargado de su seguimiento en las unidades de EII.

¿Raid ambiental? Not an expression I am familiar with. Thoughts?

English translation:educational nature trek
Explanation:
From the examples I found, it seems that 'raid' is the English word 'ride' that has become a loan word in Spanish. It either means a rally/race or a safari type expedition (usually to take photographs and explore the local natural environment.
From the way it is used in this and similar contexts, it could be translated back as:
- 'tour'
- 'expedition'
- 'hike'
- trek
So, maybe something like 'nature trek'/'educational trail'/nature walk/trail

environmental raid


Explanation:
In this case, it most likely refers to an activity where participants go around clearing up rubbish. Note that "raid" sometimes appears in inverted commas, showing that it is a recent coinage for this particular meaning.

Caveat: Note that the expression "environmental raid" is sometimes used in another sense as well in different contexts.

--------------------------------------------------

The activity is similar to the recent phenomenon of 'plogging' -> picking up trash such as used plastic bottles while jogging or running.

neutral  philgoddard: I couldn't get your Kazakh reference to work, but it sounds like a mistranslation. All the Googling I did supported Rebecca's answer. But thanks for introducing me to the concept of plogging - I'll try it next time I go for a run!
