LIFE VOLUNTEER ESCAPES Testemunho Emma Furniss-Roe
“I’m Emma, I’m from the UK and I volunteered at Plantar uma Árvore in Sintra for 4,5 months between August and December. I joined the program as, after working in finance in London, I was keen for a change and I love nature and hope to work in conservation in the future.
Over my time here, I got involved in a range of different practical work, controlling invasive species in the summer and planting trees in the winter. Although I was interested in nature before, I learnt so much about plants thanks to our coordinator Mariana’s encyclopaedic knowledge. I also got to go on a lot of field trips, including a nature conservation camp for young people in the Azores, truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
The team of coordinators, local and other European volunteers were a real pleasure to work with, and Miguel’s commitment to the company and passion for nature really shows. Living with the other volunteers was really special as it allows you to learn so much about each other and become friends for life, even in a short amount of time. I especially loved living in Sintra as there is so much to do in your free time; having the beach and the mountains nearby, plenty of Palaces to explore and Lisbon just a short train ride away.
Overall, I had an unforgettable experience volunteering in Portugal and made some amazing friends and memories along the way.”

“Working with Plantar Uma Árvore for Volunteer Escapes was a memorable experience. It made me realize how ignorant we have been with environment and its preservation. When it comes to the workspace, we were provided with a friendly environment. Working with this organization boosted my confidence regarding communication with my teammates and also with local people which made me understand different perspectives towards environmental protection. In addition, we also have team meetings regularly in which we can share our feedback regarding work and personal opinions. We were treated as family not just as a team. I have the best team ever and it created some of the best memories in my life which I will carry with me till the end.”

Hi, my name is Amelie. I’m 18 years old and from Germany. As part of my gap year after finishing high school, I have spent two and a half months in Sintra and worked as a volunteer with Plantar Uma Árvore – Associaçao. When I arrived in the beginning of October, the very next day, the plantation season started. During this month, we planted a lot of trees and shrubs in different areas of the natural park. Depending on the location, the soil was very different and I learned a lot about the different ways of plantation, the species we planted and what they need to grow. The organized groups and community initiatives on weekends were more about coordinating the daily tasks and supporting the volunteers. Every time I was impressed by the motivation of the locals and the result at the end of the day. Not only with our small team, but especially with the community you can change a lot in a few hours. The second period of my stay was more about maintenance and it was interesting to experience the tasks of the other working season, too. Although plantation was more fun, uprooting or debarking acacias and removing blackberry bushes is part of the work for more biodiversity and important for our small plants to survive. This in mind and the “before/after” situation were my motivation for dealing with all the little sprouts and thorns.

Two of the highlights during my stay were the field trip to Vidigueria in Alentejo region and the visit of Gil with the volunteer group of the Alvão-project. Beside work, it has been a pleasure to meet new people and share this experience with the team. Our coordinators always took good care of us and explained the reasons for the different kinds of work. I’d like to say thank you to the team: Mariana, Miguel, Julia, Margarida and Luís. They are doing an amazing job! Not only on field, but also in our free time, I had such a great time with the other volunteers: Emma, Harika, Valentin and Mario. We explored all the cultural sights in Sintra and did some nice trips to the coast, Cascais and Lissabon.

I´m really grateful that I had the opportunity to be part of this project."

LIFE VOLUNTEER ESCAPES Testemunho da Vanessa Indama
"Olá! O meu nome é Vanessa Indama, tenho 22 anos e sou do Porto. Através da Associação Plantar Uma Árvore, pude realizar trabalho de voluntariado por dois meses na Serra do Alvão, em Vila Real. Eu iniciei o meu voluntariado durante o período de Plantação, o que me permitiu adquirir novas competências (como usar uma enxada por exemplo) e aprender um pouco mais sobre a natureza e sobre as espécies nativas de Portugal. Devo admitir que antes de participar neste projeto não sabia quase nada de nada. Termino este voluntariado com novo conhecimento e com um maior apreço pelas árvores e plantas à minha volta. Graças à Plantar Uma Árvore, também tive a oportunidade de explorar e conhecer um pouco mais sobre o meu próprio país (estivemos 4 dias em Buçaco, uma semana em Sintra e passeávamos por Afonsim e Minheu sempre que pudéssemos) bem como observar de perto insetos e aranhas que nunca antes tinha visto. Infelizmente não cheguei a ver nenhum louva-a-deus, mas consegui ver um bicho-pau em Sintra.
Um outro aspeto positivo de toda esta experiência foi o contacto que tive com voluntários de outros países, com culturas e mentalidades diferentes. Adorei todos os momentos que passei com todos eles e sempre hei de ter comigo as memórias que criamos juntos. E por isso, gostaria de lhes agradecer por me acompanharem durante todo este tempo.
Também gostaria de agradecer, em especial, ao Gil Matos (melhor coordenador de sempre) por nos ter feito sentir confortáveis, nos ter ensinado coisas novas e de facto se ter esforçado para conectar connosco. Não poderiam ter escolhido uma melhor pessoa para este trabalho. Aproveito e também agradeço à Sr.ª Isabel e ao Sr. José, os nossos vizinhos, acho que nunca conheci pessoas tão simpáticas e humildes.
Posto isto, agradeço à Associação pela oportunidade que me deram de participar neste incrível projeto!!"
