Join
International Volunteer HQ, the world’s leading volunteer travel organization, and support the
Forest Conservation Volunteer Program in Spain.
On this program, you will contribute to the recovery of the native forests on the Catalonia coast near Barcelona. Volunteers gain conservation and fieldwork experience whilst helping the natural forest recover from environmental degradation and creating spaces for ecological regeneration.
Volunteers are accommodated in a dormitory-style hostel about 10 - 15 minutes from the city center of Barcelona.
The program has
start dates the second and fourth Monday of every month throughout the year.
This program ranges from 1-12 weeks. Your fully-hosted experience includes airport pick-up, orientation, accommodation, meals and 24/7 support. Detailed pricing information for your duration is available
on our website.
Your Impact
As a forest conservation volunteer, you’ll be part of the field team and have the unique opportunity to study and learn about each species, areas, and forests, and take different actions depending on the time of the year.
Fieldwork tasks include:
- Maintenance of planted native trees and shrubs
- Irrigation, mowing and padding with organic matter
- Planting native trees and shrubs
- Clearing the natural environment areas
- Harvesting and sowing oak acorn seeds, one of the native trees in this area
The volunteer will be working side by side with the coordinators of the projects, absorbing their botanical wisdom and supporting them in their daily tasks, not only in the reforested areas but also in the tree nurseries where it all starts.
