Dalībnieka profils
We are looking for volunteers who have a real interest in raising awareness and protecting the environment. They will need to enjoy life in the country and contact with people and the flora and fauna which means sometimes putting up with difficult weather conditions and be ready to welcome visitors at Les Courmettes and talk about the site’s regulations. Volunteers will have to show that they can take initiatives in the tasks they undertake and take them through to completion. A basic knowledge of French and a driving licence are an advantage for the volunteers.
