Travail
Guardians of Nature is a volunteer project focused on environmental awareness and direct action in nature. Taking place in the beautiful natural setting of Santa Bárbara, Altea, the project brings together international volunteers to participate in two summer workcamps surrounded by olive trees, pine forests, and Mediterranean landscapes.
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. Please note that the weather will be hot, and conditions are rustic and fully outdoors—perfect for those ready to immerse themselves in a meaningful summer surrounded by nature.
