Deployment in and for nature

Volunteering

Naturpark Pfyn-Finges - Get actively involved with us in protecting our natural and cultural landscapes!
With your help, our unique natural and cultural landscapes can be preserved and enhanced.

Whether as a family, group of friends, club, company or school class: we organise sustainable landscape conservation work in the countryside. There is always meaningful work to be done in our beautiful mountain and valley landscapes.

Many valuable structures in the Valais cultural and natural landscapes can only be preserved through intensive manual labour. This includes, among other things:

- Scrub clearance in the steppes, on the Alps and in valuable biotopes
- Maintenance of hedgerows and rough pastures
- Removal of invasive neophytes
- Creation / maintenance of small structures such as deadwood piles, rock piles or Benjes hedges

In addition to the active work, you will also be given useful information about the respective impact of the work you are doing. The Pfyn-Finges Nature Park takes care of the organisation, provides the necessary tools and manages the group. If you wish, we can organise a small aperitif in the area together with our partners.
