Spring & autumn planting drives
Two to five days on the slopes carrying, pitting and planting seedlings. No experience needed; boots, gloves and a willingness to walk uphill are enough.
Get involved
Sustainable support: hands, partnerships and ecological funding
The association sells nothing and charges no fees. Support arrives as labour on the slopes, as in-kind materials, or as grant funding applied to declared conservation purposes.
Volunteer programs
Trail clearing & firebreak maintenance
Clearing waymarked paths and access tracks in late spring, before the fire season begins.
Ecological surveys
Assisting botanists and ornithologists on the June biodiversity survey, or recording seedling survival on adopted parcels.
Long-term and international volunteers
Placements of three weeks or more for students and professionals in forestry, agronomy, GIS and environmental education. Village host families provide lodging at cost.
To join a work day, write to us with your name, the dates you are available and any relevant field experience. Volunteers under 18 must be accompanied. Work is physical and takes place at altitude in variable weather; we brief every group on safety, tools and the boundaries of the exclosures before starting.
Corporate responsibility & institutional partnerships
Eco-conscious businesses, international NGOs and public institutions can sponsor a named reforestation plot, fund a nursery cycle, or equip a fire watch group. Sponsors receive a parcel map, planting and survival records, and photographic documentation at the end of each season.
Partnerships are governed by a written agreement stating the conservation purpose, the reporting schedule and the fact that no commercial consideration is exchanged. The association does not endorse products, does not sell naming rights beyond internal parcel identification, and does not accept support conditional on resource extraction.
