Voluntary work in California – Nature Conservation in the "Golden State"

Pays d’action: Etats-Unis, Amérique du Nord
Type d’activité: Ecovolontariat
Travel to the USA and support an exciting 12-week volunteer project in the Golden State! You will play an active role in different nature conservation projects on the West Coast, living amidst California's breathtaking wilderness. Your work on the project will take you to beautiful regions of the state, far off the beaten path, giving you an insight into California’s wild nature.



Description du projet et du rôle des volontaires

California has plenty to offer for nature lovers. The state has nine national parks, including the towering trees of Redwood National Park, the desert landscape of Death Valley National Park, and, of course, Yosemite. Your base station in California's capital Sacramento is where you will stay upon arrival, before departure, and in between project assignments. During your free time, you will have the chance to go on road trips to explore the numerous highlights of the Golden State along with your fellow team members.

Your stay will begin with an intensive safety course and training which will show you how to properly use project tools. You will then spend eight days on the project with six days off in between each project assignment. Each international team of 5-12 members will work on different tasks, focusing on trail and fence building and maintenance, erosion control, and removal of invasive plants. You will work around 10 hours per day. Please be aware that physical work can be extremely challenging and the weather can be quite varied.
You will stay in tents, either in the wilderness or on camping sites with toilets, showers, and washing facilities. Tents are always provided to volunteers. Meals during the projects are all included in the price and are prepared by the team. On off days, you need to take care of your meals yourself; there is a communal kitchen in the volunteer house for you to use. You will return to your base station in Sacramento after every project and will have six days off for free time activities. Note: The 8-6-8 rhythm may vary!
