Volunteering at Swiss Mountain Farms Ticino
About the event
Corporate teams seeking a meaningful, nature-based volunteering experience can support Swiss mountain farms through hands-on, full-day activities across the country.
Swiss farmers depend on your support to help with their social enterprises, many of which rely on volunteer engagement to maintain steep mountain landscapes, protect biodiversity, and preserve traditional alpine environments. By spending a day on the farm, teams make a direct and visible contribution while fostering collaboration and team spirit.
Activities are carried out at selected mountain farms throughout Switzerland, where participants work alongside farmers on practical and seasonally relevant tasks such as clearing pastures, repairing fences, removing brush or invasive plants, harvesting, or maintaining essential infrastructure.
What Corporate Teams Gain
- A meaningful and impactful volunteering day in nature
- Strengthened teamwork through shared physical activity
