🏢 About the local organisation
Legambiente Rovigo was born in 2017 and has carried out many environmental information and awareness activities and participated in integration projects that involved foreign people and local citizens, committees and other local associations.
In collaboration with other local associations we take care of the management of Parco Langer, the historic park in Rovigo city, where citizens have been able to cultivate their own vegetable garden by adopting a small part of it. We also carry out environmental education activities in schools and promote citizen science actions.
💼 What the programme involves
We welcome volunteers to help with the maintenance of the Po river floodplain, an area rich in biodiversity to preserve. Volunteers will also help local associations and other neighboring municipalities in the environment protection through awareness-raising actions such as the collection of floating waste with boats, the arrangement of paths and information signs in the green areas.
Moreover the presence of second generation people and migrants will require attitude in supporting them and in socializing during the working activities and during free time.
