The Swiss Bergwaldprojekt foundation runs free week-long volunteer projects to care for the protection forest above Trin, in the canton of Graubünden: two weeks in December 2026 and four in January and March 2027. Food and lodging are provided; travel and insurance are up to you. Bergwaldprojekt says anyone can take part.
Who can apply
Nationality
Bergwaldprojekt says participation is in principle possible for everyone and sets no nationality rule, so Tunisians can register. You must arrange your own Swiss visa.
Fitness
You need good physical condition and sure footing, because the work can be on steep terrain. No forestry knowledge is needed.
Attendance
You must arrive on time on Sunday and stay until Saturday: late arrival and early departure are not possible.
Funding and what it does not cover
Taking part in an adult Bergwaldprojekt week is free. Bergwaldprojekt provides food and accommodation; participants arrange and pay for their travel and insurance.
Covered
Multi-bed room at the Trin youth hostel, bed linen included
Breakfast, dinner and lunch in the forest
Guidance by forestry experts and a forestry excursion
