About the project

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

the Vall de Siarb shelter will host a camp about territorial conservation. The group of participants will collaborate in the cleaning and reconstruction of the old rural roads of the valley, collaborating with the Museum of Paths Project that was created by the entity. Participants will be able to enjoy a unique natural environment in the valley of the High Pyrenees.

💼 What the programme involves

We will be working on restoring and improving old roads: cleaning paths, rebuilding dry stone walls, placing stones and improving trail marks with paint. We will spend the working hours (4 hours/day) in nature, surrounded by forests, fields, etc. The work is mostly manual and physical.

🏠 Accommodation on site

You will sleep in common rooms with bunk beds. There are gonna be spaces for you to store your stuff. You also will have two bathrooms and showers with warm water.
