💼 What the programme involves
Volunteer’s main task will be to take photos of flora, fauna, landscapes and everyday work of foresters of Pultusk Forest Inspectorate. 3-4 times a week volunteer will be brought to a new place where he/she will take the photos. Volunteer will receive GPS and forest map and will work independently. Next task will be to describe the photos (e.g. place and time) and publish them on facebook profile of the Inspectorate. Volunteer will also write and publish (in English) his/her observations and comments about everyday life of the Inspectorate and foresters.
