🏢 About the local organisation
The Legambiente Geo A.P.S. association was born in Atessa in 1989 thanks to the enthusiasm and the care of a group of young volunteers. Since 35 years our association deals with the improvement of the environmental and cultural quality in our area in order to satisfy the need of participation, cohesiveness, knowledge and identity of people. During the last years we have fighted against waste trade, land consumption, for the Sangro river safeguard and the Val di Sangro evironmental quality. Thanks to our devouted and determined work, we set up the SIC Monte Pallano and Lecceta d' Isca d' Archi area. It is a place where environmental and archaeoligical excellences coexist. Legambiente, in this area, manages Casanatura Fontecampana center, a place where people of any age can meet each other and share their love for nature and environment and broaden their knowledges about them through various activities. Since 2017, tanks to volunteers, Legambiente runs the recycling center in Atessa.
💼 What the programme involves
Volunteers will work on restoring the paths, eliminating vegetation that has invaded parts of the path and recovering neglected sections, to bring them back to life. In collaboration with a local association, ancient dry stone walls will be recovered, so as not to lose this important testimony declared a world heritage site by UNESCO in 2018.
⚠️ Requirements
Volunteers should have an interest in the theme of the project, feel comfortable working and living in a group setting, and have a desire to explore a new country and a small village immersed in nature.
