Voluntary work is divided in 3 categories:- Montesinho Natural Park nature routes improvement ( installing and placing orientation and information signs along 3 routes, in order to promote sustainable ecotourism;- Coexistence between rural activities and wildlife ( installation of electric fences to protect beehives from bear and badger damages, and to protect chestnut orchards from wild boars, red and roe deer damages.- Community work ( local community will make a list of their needs which the workcamp will contribute to.
The accommodation will be in a renovated children school, which no longer serves its purpose. It has bathrooms, hot water, an equipped kitchen. There is minimum mobile internet connection.Meals will be prepared by all the volunteers, taking turns, yet always accompanied by a cook. Breakfast, lunch, afternoon snacks, dinner, and night snacks will be provided.
The Workcamp will be based in Vilarinho, a village located in the heart of Montesinho natural park, Braganca district, in the Northeastern part of Portugal, near the border with Spain (41.896854, -6.842691). Montesinho Natural Park is one of the best protected areas of Portugal, where it is possible to find red deer, roe deer, wild boar and healthy population of wolves. Its landscape consists of patches of oak tree forests, with forests and orchards of chestnut trees, which constitute one of the main economic incomes of the local community.
Nature Ambassador Workcamps main goals consist in the promotion of non-formal education among participants and respect for different cultures in an intergenerational environment. We expect this immersive experience to shape participants beliefs and to improve their tolerance, respect and appreciation for different cultures. This Workcamp also aims to have a positive impact in the local communities, which will benefit with the close contact with young participants.The last goal is to promote Parque Natural de Montesinho and its natural heritage, by improving orientation signs in 3 walking routes and by applying techniques which improve coexistence between rural activities and Parks wildlife.
It is a locality with few inhabitants and most of them are elderly, so it is important that participants have respectful behaviour towards the community and nature. Being a more fragile and isolated population, it is important to assume social behaviour that do not compromise the well-being of the community
