Guardians of Nature is a volunteer project focused on environmental awareness and direct action in nature.

The workcamps are held on a rural estate that includes two houses (one for sleeping and one for cooking), bathrooms, washrooms, terraces, a swimming pool, and outdoor communal spaces. The first camp runs from August 1st to 14th, and the second from August 15th to 29th. Activities are nature-based and designed to promote environmental learning and collaboration. Volunteers will take part in a variety of tasks such as: Beach clean-ups Hiking excursions in natural areas Participation in an archaeological excavation Group discussions and environmental workshops These camps provide a screen-free, outdoor lifestyle that fosters environmental responsibility, teamwork, and cultural exchange. Volunteers are expected to be proactive, adaptable, and open to learning through hands-on experiences in nature. A good command of English is required; Spanish or Valencian is an asset.
