Volunteers are people who are not indifferent and active and are engaged in various kinds of socially useful activities on a voluntary and gratuitous basis. Volunteers are often called upon by all kinds of organizations that need volunteers to do some work.
Today it is very common practice to involve volunteers in NPA, they participate in the design, landscaping, nature observation and even conduct educational excursions. In return, the volunteers get a lot of bright impressions, knowledge about nature, opportunities to see interesting, unique places, learn about the work of environmental institutions and communicate with new people.
The first volunteers of the Polistovsky Reserve who took part in scientific research arrived in 2003. With their help, test areas were laid out and described on the burnt areas left after the great fire of 2002. Since then, the volunteers come to the Polistovsky Reserve every year, and now they not only help the scientific department, but also participate in other, most diverse works. For its part, the Polistovsky Reserve provides the volunteers with accommodation and an opportunity to learn about the wonderful world of the bogs.
