Experiences and volunteering opportunities

Ecosystem Restoration Communities offer hands-on experiences at locations around the world, to learn and understand restoration, develop a deeper connection with the earth and actively take part in restoring the land. 

Start by choosing which option is best for you:

Events are tailored, fixed-date restoration activities at specific ERC locations or online. These could include tree-planting weeks or other restoration-oriented activities. Events may also involve on-site courses, a blend of instruction and hands-on activities covering techniques used in restoration efforts, providing the opportunity to acquire and hone your skills.

Volunteer opportunities are structured opportunities that may involve on-the-ground restoration, communications, or testing a business idea. Many restoration communities also welcome Master and PhD program students who want to collect data on site as part of their research.

Match your skills enables you to easily identify which ERC needs your particular skills. Facilities, cost, length of stay and restoration activities are specific to each location and are arranged directly with the ERC leader.
