About the project

📝 Detailed information

Environmental education, nest monitoring, data entry, Natural Park management activities and organization of workshops. Maintenance tasks on house.

For further information, please contact [email protected]

🏠 Accommodation on site

The volunteer will live in the Fontmartina building, located in Montseny Natural Park. The house is a typical mountain building that meets the necessary requirements, with several showers and toilets, shared kitchen and dining room, all essential accessories, including basic furniture, living room and three shared bedrooms. WiFi is free but poor. The volunteers live in an isolated area, inside the Natural Park, surrounded by forest and 30 min away from the nearest big city, by car. Shopping and cooking is done all together, vegans/vegetarians welcome.

🎒 Leisure activities

The work of the volunteers will have as their final objective their training as professionals linked to nature and the environment, learning about monitoring and management techniques, as well as other basic skills needed in a natural, forested and rural environment. There will be different types of tasks available and volunteers will be able to choose which task best suits their skills and which ones they can help them develop new skills. Part of the activities will be demonstrative, such as workshops and field trips with other environmental management entities. More info: @EBMontseny_ico

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profil: A scientific profile is preferably sought and/or related to the environment (because many of the tasks have a scientific and conservation character). When this need is covered, the horizon opens in looking for people with other varied profiles with or without higher education, in order to have a multidisciplinary team because it refers to the interests and abilities of each volunteer. We are looking for 2 people to start in mid-June and 4 people to start in mid-July, please indicate which date suits you the most (or in case both dates suit you). Duration is 12 moths from your starting date.
Deadline: No application deadline
