Forest Conservation in Lisbon

Forests and natural parks provide essential ecosystem functions, such as climate regulation, soil erosion control, water filtration, carbon sequestration, and air purification. Our Forest Conservation program in Portugal focuses on developing and implementing projects that promote the ecological recovery of degraded areas through native forest and species restoration. What to expect: • Ecosystem Restoration: Participate in projects that enhance natural heritage, reduce environmental damage, and promote biodiversity. • Community Engagement: Work alongside local volunteers, coordinators, and community members to create a visible impact and raise awareness about forest conservation. • Seasonal Activities: Learn about different forest areas and take various actions depending on the time of year, such as planting, maintenance, and invasive species control. Daily tasks: • Apply techniques to manage invasive alien species threatening natural areas. • Plant native species using diverse methodologies (mainly in autumn and winter) and maintain planted areas. • Support initiatives that safeguard local flora and fauna. • Assist with various tasks to restore and protect forest ecosystems.
