  • Description

    Description

    We are a non-profit nature conservation organisation. We use our energy and knowledge to preserve biodiversity, protect species and improve and maintain nature reserves

    By promoting species and habitats that are particularly worthy of conservation, we make a measurable contribution to species-rich natural and cultural landscapes in Switzerland. To this end, we work together with partners with whom we can achieve the greatest possible impact.

    Our environmental education and volunteering programmes combine nature conservation with personal commitment. Schools, companies and volunteer groups work together with us to protect nature – outdoors, with their heads, hearts and hands.

    We are looking for motivated volunteers with good physical endurance for help with outdoor manual tasks.

    For administrative reasons we only accept volunteers from Europe.

A white truck is parked near a pond surrounded by greenery. A shirtless man stands nearby. Majestic mountains and blue sky form the scenic background.
Six people sit on a stone wall they likely built, smiling and relaxed. Behind them are grassy slopes, trees, and rustic wooden houses under a cloudy sky.
A person stands on a ladder, attaching a wooden birdhouse to a tall tree. The sky is clear and blue, and the scene looks peaceful.
Two people wearing gloves and work clothes are kneeling and weeding in a lush, green forest clearing, surrounded by tall grass and trees on a sunny day.
Five people in outdoor work clothing pose with tools and a wheelbarrow on a dirt patch, surrounded by trees and a natural, wooded background.
Two traditional houses with wooden details stand beside a lush, green hillside. There’s a small garden, gravel path, and patio area bordered by a picket fence.
This is a simple, tidy room with two single beds, wooden walls, a wooden floor, a window, a desk, and a wooden chair. Natural light.
This image shows a simple, cozy room with wooden furniture, a rectangular dining table, four chairs, a bench, two windows, and striped curtains and sofa.
