Zakwaterowanie, wyżywienie i transport
The volunteer will live in the Fontmartina building, located inside Montseny Natural Park. The house is a typical mountain building that meets the necessary requirements, with 3 showers and 2 toilets, shared kitchen and dining room, all essential accessories, including basic furniture, living room and two shared bedrooms. WiFi is free but poor. The area is quite isolated, surrounded by forest and 25 min away by car from the nearest big city (Sant Celoni). Public transport negligible but we offer a car to share. Shopping and cooking is done all together, vegans/vegetarians welcome.
Szkolenie w trakcie działania
The work of the volunteers will have as their final objective their training as professionals linked to nature and the environment, learning about monitoring and management techniques, as well as other basic skills needed in a natural, forested and rural environment. At the beginning we will give classes on bird's biology, how to identify birds by sight and call, how to do census and how to take samples. Part of the activities will be demonstrative, such as workshops and field trips with other environmental management organisations. More info: @EBMontseny_ico
Profil uczestnika
The ideal candidate will have a scientific and environmental background, but young candidates with the will of learning about the environment are also welcome. We look for people motivated, willing to learn but also to teach the others, that can keep a nice work environment (and also while sharing a house), physically fit, able to work in steep mountains, flexible about timetables or tasks and proactive. No previous knowledge of birds is needed, but it will be a plus. Duration is 12 moths from your starting date. Only EU countries.
