Daily Life

As a volunteer, you will work closely with the field team to learn about each area and participate in various tasks based on the season. These activities include controlling invasive species, planting diverse native species, maintaining planted areas, protecting biodiversity niches, and managing pedestrian trails. Most tasks take place in a natural park near Lisbon, approximately an hour away using public transportation.

Throughout the program, you will also participate in monthly field trips lasting 2 to 5 days, exploring different parts of Portugal. These excursions provide opportunities to contribute to large-scale reforestation efforts in degraded regions while collaborating with local volunteers, coordinators, and community members. These trips not only create visible impacts but also raise awareness of the importance of networking in conservation efforts.
