About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

The Town Hall of Calpe. We are collaborating with them for many years.

💼 What the programme involves

The area is covered with forest but due to a dry climate there is a great risk of fire in these forests. More than 45 of the fires in the area are created by tourists because of lack of information and negligence. Volunteers will try to inform, educate and control tourists in order to prevent fires in the area. For such work they will use bicycles or walking, so their main work will be to bike around a marvelous Mediterranean forest checking that everything is OK.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Volunteers will live and sleep in a nice hut up in the mountains and will be able to go to Calpe with a car to enjoy the city. During the day (Monday-Friday) volunteers will work in the forest. The hut is isolated, IT lies 5 km away from Calpe and has all the facilities. Volunteers will cook for themselves.

📍 About the location

Calpe is a beautiful touristic resort and it has many options for entertainment (concerts, excursions, swimming, archaeological sites, hikes).

⚠️ Requirements

1) At least one of the volunteers must be able to drive an old car to be able to go down to the town, socialize and do the shopping. 2) Basic level of Spanish would be great, but not necessary. 3) Volunteers have to be healthy and responsible
