       Brivio, Lombardia          January 24 - February 6, 2010

Volunteer project: The natural reserve Palude di Brivio is one of the most interesting humid areas of the whole Parco Adda Nord, especially from a naturalistic point of view. The Reserve is classified as a European Union's important site for the conservation of natural habitat and wildlands.
The volunteers will be hosted in Campsirago, about 20 kilometres far from the place of work, in the area of Monte di Brianza (also called S. Genesio Park), a hilly and mountainous area located in the southern part of Lecco. Among the ancient rural villages of S. Genesio, there is a "Permanent Centre for Voluntary Service and Environmental Education", where the groups will be hosted.

The volunteers will be working mainly in the natural reserve Palude di Brivio. The group will be doing some maintenance and cleaning, as well as cutting grass and weeds in order to let an endangered orchid flower grow.
