📝 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 very 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 hut up in the mountains and will be able to go to Calpe with a car. 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. There is no Wi-Fi and the conditions are basic, so be prepared for that.
📍 About the location
