The program has
start dates every Monday throughout the year.
This program ranges from 2-12 weeks. Your fully-hosted experience includes airport pick-up, orientation, accommodation, meals and 24/7 support. Detailed pricing information for your duration is available

Your Impact
As a Forest Conservation volunteer you will study and learn about the forest. You’ll be working alongside the field team of local volunteers, coordinators and other members of the community to make a visible impact. Most of the activities are based in a natural park that surrounds a part of Lisbon. Fieldwork tasks vary depending on the season but may include:
- Applying control techniques for invasive species that were introduced in the last decades for fast reforestation and are now threatening natural areas
- Planting different species with diverse methodologies (mostly in autumn and winter)
- Maintaining planted areas
- Protecting biodiversity niches
- Maintaining walking trails
