Description of the partner organizing/hosting the project:
Legambiente Basilicata was founded in 1990 and brings together all the association's local groups in the region. Environmental and biodiversity protection, scientific environmentalism and the fight against oil exploitation in Basilicata are the main battles of the regional association.
Legambiente Basilicata is also involved in environmental education activities (in schools of all levels) and the dissemination of the values of peace, non-violence, hospitality and social solidarity in the region.
Volunteer camps are an important tool to make our activities known also outside the region and to implement projects for the protection and care of the territory, thanks to national and international volunteers.

Description of work:
During this camp, volunteers will be engaged in maintenance and care works on the paths within the protected area of the Appennino Lucano Val d'Agri Lagonegrese National Park and the village of Sasso di Castalda. In particular, the camp will focus on the Basilicata Frassati Path (within the protected area) and the Sentiero dell'Ascolto (Listening Path) (within the village).
Alongside the path maintenance activities, there will also be activities to learn more about the climate crisis and get to know the area that will host the international volunteer camp; there will also be activities to get to know the local Legambiente groups active in the Basilicata region.
