Mountains and Museums: Improving the area for visitors has a direct benefit on the local economy in this rural area. Improving facilities around and associated with the Natural History Museum is creating great educational benefits for local children and as well as the physical work which greatly assists an increasingly aging population, our very presence has injected a new vitality into the area reflected in the enthusiastic welcome from the whole community, and the interest generated amongst younger people.
Olive Harvest at Villa Pianciani Delizia: The groves in which the villa is set are an ancient and traditional part of the landscape. These are increasingly suffering as realistically it is not economically viable to maintain them, and until now, much of the potential harvest has gone to waste. The work will not only provide you with the best stories to tell as you serve your salads, but ensures the continued survival of the groves and their important role in the landscape setting.
As the UK's biggest environmental volunteering charity, our aim is to make the maximum contribution to the communities and places we work in and we always work with a local partner organisation. These are unique vacations in unique places. Working directly with a local environmental organisations staff, volunteers and local people you'll have the chance to experience Italy in a way no other vacation can offer. Living, laughing and working as a group, you're not only changing the world, you'll change your life.
We invite every traveler who books a vacation via us to send in a review. Because we don't run the vacations they're completely independent and unedited... remember to read between the lines though, as two people on the same vacation can have different views!
