Zet je op afstand in voor Vlaamse, Afrikaanse en Zuid Amerikaanse bossen

De Vlaamse organisatie Bos+ zet die zich specifiek in voor bosbehoud, beter bos en meer bos in Vlaanderen en de wereld. Naast een sterke aanwezigheid in het Vlaamse, heeft deze organisatie via internationale partnerschappen al hele mooie projecten opgezet in Tanzania, Ethiopie, Oeganda, Ecuador, Peru en Bolivia.

Bos+ zoekt doorlopend mensen die een deel van hun beschikbare tijd willen investeren in hun doelstellingen. Als organisatie staan ze open voor vrijwilligers die sporadisch of op meer vaste basis actief zijn. Je kunt hierbij denken aan het schrijven van webteksten, vertalen van teksten en onderzoeken, implicaties van nieuwe wetgeving onderzoeken, het helpen ontwikkelen van educatieve materialen. Neem vooral contact op met Bos+ om jouw competenties en interesses te koppelen aan hun openstaande wensen. Fysieke aanwezigheid in Vlaanderen is niet vereist.

Volunteer in Portugese Permaculture project and help restore the local ecosystem after catastrophic wildfires

Volunteer in Portugese Permaculture project and help restore the local ecosystem after catastrophic wildfires

forest fire portugal

At permaculture project Quinta do Vale a lot of work can be done. For years they have been creating their own small scale permaculture area in a Portugese valley. Through education and training they also try to have impact on a greater amount of people. But in 2017 great wildfires destroyed a large part of the valley and also a part of their permaculture property. The upside of the fires could be that locals might open up for a more sustainble land use. Taking good care of the land could have helped reducing the impact of the 2017 fires. As a volunteer you are very welcome to help them reforest the area. Get in contact through their website for updates on the volunteer needs.

They now welcome (quoted from their website):

  • If you want to just rock up in a campervan or with a tent and stay a couple of nights, you’re welcome.
  • If you’re just looking for a park-up while you do other things in the area, you’re welcome.
  • If you want to stay from a week to a month or two, volunteer some work and learn everything you can, you’re welcome.
  • If you’re particularly interested in doing some natural building repairs and reconstruction, you’re welcome.
  • If you have DIY skills or a trade and fancy coming to spend a summer helping us and the rest of the community, you’re welcome and we will all love you forever.
  • If you want to come and download all the accumulated knowledge and experience that’s in my head from nearly a decade living off grid, you’re welcome to do that too.
