Our Forest Conservation Program in Portugal
Our Forest Conservation program is dedicated to developing and implementing projects that focus on the ecological recovery of degraded areas. We are committed to restoring native forests and species while actively involving the local community. By volunteering with us, you'll contribute to:
- Biodiversity Enhancement: Our initiatives aim to enhance natural heritage, reduce environmental damage, and restore ecological functions, primarily through native forest restoration.
- Community Involvement: We believe in the power of community engagement and work closely with local volunteers and coordinators to create a visible impact and raise awareness about the importance of conservation.
Volunteer's Role in the Field
As a volunteer, you will play a fundamental role within our field team. Your specific duties will fluctuate in accordance with the season and may encompass:
- Applying control techniques for invasive alien species
- Planting diverse species using various methodologies
- Maintaining planted areas
- Protecting biodiversity niches
- Managing pedestrian trails
Location and Field Trips
Most of our activities take place in a natural park surrounding Lisbon, easily accessible via public transport. Additionally, we organize monthly field trips lasting from 2 to 5 days, offering you the opportunity to explore different parts of Portugal and contribute to reforestation efforts on a larger scale. These trips are essential for reforesting areas degraded by factors like intensive agriculture, fires, or invasive species.
Weather Considerations
If you plan to participate in our program during the winter, expect temperatures ranging from 5 to 15 degrees Celsius (40 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit). Warm clothing is recommended to ensure your comfort during the chilly months. Conversely, for those considering a summer visit when temperatures range from 25-38°C (77-100°F), we suggest opting for lightweight and comfortable attire.
