Montevecchia and Valle del Curone

The international Legambiente Lecco volunteer camp in the Regional Park Montevecchia and Valle del Curone takes place during the two middle weeks of August.

Housed in “Ca' Soldato”, at the foot of the hill of Montevecchia, foreign volunteers will help in the maintenance of trails and ecosystems of this green lung in the middle of Lombardy. Located only 30 kilometers away from the center of Milan, it is one of the last remains of the former woodland carpet which covered the entire Brianza area and holds true natural treasures, including colonies of crayfish (Austropotamobius pallipes italicus), a species in serious danger of extinction which finds a suitable habitat in the numerous streams that flow in the Park.

Volunteers will be welcomed by a big and warm group of Ecological Guards Volunteers who will coordinate the work and offer moments of conviviality and fun during an unique experience of sociality and commitment, in a fascinating environment close to the biggest cities of Lombardy.
