🏢 About the local organisation
If you like nature, trekking, teamwork and manual work this camp is for you!
The purpose of this workcamp is to recover and maintain the ancient paths of Vall de Siarb, a very unique and interesting valley in the heart of the Pyrenees. These paths were used during many centuries until 1960-70. They represent a huge heritage and we want to keep all of them in the valley as an open air museum.
During the workcamp, participants will discover the surroundings of the Valley of Siarb, get to know the geographical features of the Parc de l'Alt Pirineu and how to frame the valley in the Park, learn more about the region of Pallars Sobirà and its idiosyncrasies.
💼 What the programme involves
There will be all kinds of tasks regarding recovering and improving of old paths: clearing paths, rebuilding dry stone walls, putting astones aside, improving trail signs with paint and pavement stretches of trails. We spend all the working hours (4 hours) in the nature, surrounded by forests, fields, etc. The work is very manual and physical.
The project is flexible with the needs of the group, with flexible dates, amount of work, combination of activities.
