🏢 About the local organisation

Pro Natura is the oldest nature preservation organization in Switzerland. We love nature, defend its interests, and give it a strong voice.Pro Natura Vaud (cantonal officer) takes care of about 160 protected biotopes. La Cruchaude is one of them. This reserve is a pasture managed with big respect for the environment (soils, flora and fauna), in collaboration with the farmer who has some cows here. A part of the spot is also a non exploited forest.Dry stone walls stand through the pasture and are important corridors for the little wild animals. Moreover, they are remarkable landscape elements. These walls have to be restored as they are collapsing, and this is why we need volunteers. These walls must be constructed according to a precise method and arrangement.

💼 What the programme involves
