Corporate volunteering in Swiss parks

About the event

Swiss parks regularly organize volunteer activities with companies whose employees are actively committed to the environment. During a volunteer day, your employees carry out important nature conservation work while also benefiting from valuable team-building opportunities. They get to know the park, interact with the local population, and enjoy regional specialties. Expert guides ensure safety and an educational day, teaching new skills and knowledge about habitats, animals, and plants. Fresh air provides fresh inspiration – companies benefit from enthusiastic and motivated employees who work together for a good cause, have fun, and go to bed tired but with a good feeling in the evening.

The assignments take place in beautiful natural and cultural landscapes and meet the high sustainability standards of Swiss parks. The following parks offer CV assignments: Parc Chasseral, Jurapark Aargau, Regional Nature Park Schaffhausen, Nature Park Gantrisch, Nature Park Diemtigtal, UNESCO Biosphere Entlebuch, Nature Park Pfyn-Finges, Landscape Park Binntal, Nature Park Beverin, Parc Ela, Biosfera Val Müstair.

The recommended price for a fully organized day, including meals (morning snack, lunch, and afternoon snack with regional products), is CHF 145 per person for 20 people and CHF 120 per person for 30 people (excluding VAT). We would be happy to provide you with a personalized quote.
