The main activity of this Legambiente group is the management of an hostel; moreover, it has campaigned against food waste and for the correct waste management.

💼 What the programme involves
WORK: Volunteers will retrieve garbage stuck in that area of the lake on a small boat, and also beside the road that goes through the park. Beside that, they will have to paint the benches and signs, and mow in the area of pathways. These tasks will be fundamental to obtain a cleaner and even more beautiful natural habitat, which is what we expect from these interventions
STUDY PART: At the beginning of the camp there will be a meeting in order to show the volunteers the details regarding their work in the park.
🏠 Accommodation on site
The volunteers will be hosted in a house owned by the park. The dormitory will be used by both men and women. In the house, they will find a kitchen, bathrooms, a big shared living room.

Here arises a large flat wetland, in a majestic and spectacular natural theater of crucial ornithological value, under the first spurs of the Alps Lepontine and Retiche. The Pian di Spagna is located exactly on a trajectory of migrating birds which find shelter and food there, among the thick marsh vegetation, just before and after the strenuous crossing of the Alps. In addition to birds
