🏢 About the local organisation
The Legambiente Pisa group has been involved in many environmental activities in the city of Pisa and its territory for over 20 years. Our activities range from environmental education in the schools to the struggles to preserve and create green areas in the town and in its periphery, to activities of Civil Protection and the campaigns to raise public attention to themes such as waste management, public water and transportation. Legambiente Pisa has always cooperated with other organizations in order to make of Pisa a livable and responsible city.
💼 What the programme involves
WORK: Volunteers will use simple tools such as shears, hatchets and saw to eliminate the invasive species. They will register and monitor the data of these interventions, in order to compare them with the past ones and document the effectiveness of the action. In agreement with the park organization and with the Forestry and Natural scientists in particular, there might be the chance for small interventions on other natural areas, such as maintenance of transit path for humans and animals alike.
All the journeys within the park and from the park to Pisa (4 km), will be done by bike, therefore the volunteers will be in charge of the bikes’ maintenance together with the local bike shop. Longer trips can be organized by train, reaching the station by bike.
