Where to do environmental volunteering
Valencia has numerous public and private entities that promote sustainability through volunteering. These actions aim to reduce spills, protect natural spaces and raise awareness about respect for the environment.
We invite you to learn about these initiatives so that, if you want and can, you collaborate with them. Find out more and be part of the city’s green commitment!
Xaloc Mar
They aim to engage society as a whole in marine conservation, and to do so, they manage a network of volunteers in a variety of activities. During the summer, they manage the turtle camp to protect the nests of loggerhead turtles, which in recent years have chosen the Mediterranean coast as a nesting area. They also organise beach clean-ups and collaborate in regenerating the dunes around the El Saler Parador, in the heart of L'Albufera Natural Park, eliminating invasive species and planting native species.
Cruz roja
Every summer, the Red Cross organises its summer campaign to prevent forest fires in the Parc de la Devesa, which is part of Albufera Natural Park. It takes place on weekends from the beginning of June to mid-September. You can register by sending an email to devesa.voluntariado@cruzroja.es or by calling (+34) 963 60 62 11
BIOagradables
The BIOagradables Association is a group of volunteers committed to protecting the environment. Since 2012, its main activity has been the monthly organisation of beach clean-ups, raising awareness of our impact on the natural environment. If you'd like to join their initiative and help keep Valencia's beaches cleaner than ever, contact them at info@bioagradables.org.
