Impact Beyond Conservation:
Our association goes beyond environmental conservation. We play an essential role in the local community by:
- Employing people with disabilities to improve social integration.
- Offering foster care to children whose parents cannot care for them.
- Growing food locally and producing organic honey and wine.
- Operating therapeutic horseback riding. In fact, 43% of our staff are people with disabilities or chronic diseases.
Seasonal Considerations:
- Winter (40-60°F or 5-15°C): Pack warm clothing to stay comfortable during colder temperatures.
- Summer (77-100ºF or 25-38ºC): Opt for comfortable and light clothing when volunteering in warmer weather.
