🏢 About the local organisation
Legambiente del Vittoriese was born in 2014 following the dispute against the building of a tunnel road. Moreover we organize public events and walks around our land. We supervise some projects and works that are making radical environmental changing.
Some of the campaigns we did are: clean up the med, give awareness about environmental problems caused by fossil energies, demonstrations in defense of the Cansiglio Forest.
We organize workcamp to show the possibility of a new kind of slow and responsible tourism.

WORK: Volunteers will be involved in environmental activities like cleaning and mainteniance of paths and tracks that begin from center of the village and rise on the hills behind.
