Environmental Volunteer

Hello.

This year, as above, we return to work in the voluntary monitoring device deterrent against forest fires, so we will not exit on mountain August.

Unfortunately, the last day 8 afternoon we saw a deliberate fire really close (no more than 500 meters), in an area (fort) where we had been in the morning. With 2-3 pockets, a clear indication of "provocation" by an arsonist in the area ... It made you want to know who is and drop it in the middle ... With large deployment of air and land, was soon controlled and extinguished by professionals.

The only thing clear is that the notice quickly is essential.

This occupation, apart from the social work performed, is a way to meet other people who like nature, a way to make friends or discover new corners of our land of Galicia. Moreover, the practical training work of the coordinators: explaining the flora, because they grow in some soil types and not others, species of trees, animal tracks, etc. gives you a bonus. Not everything will be to identify the types of fire for the type of smoke ...

Currently, there are no volunteers fever that was built in 2006, since there is no social unrest, and few people interested in these altruistic activities, so the disclosure of these options is essential. This year, nearly all the voluntary work seems to focus on the Jacobean and the beaten paths to Santiago, and not everything will be turisteo.

The work, sometimes quiet, professional monitoring device, and the question little public information about them contributes to a lower perception of them to the general public, but in no time must be vigilant.

Personally I think it's OK not to give too much information in the case of environmental terrorism (how to intentionally burn a mountain) and leave it to the professionals. The arsonists seeking prominence and not to echo his "achievements" may help to discourage them.

regard to volunteer work, done a little less tasking truly useful, like exploring on foot or manning of stations, but is very complex, because, as in the activities of groups of walking, monitor the day do not know the profile of the participant (fitness, experience, ability to move, etc) until it is presented, and this is almost impossible to plan. Light has to provide activities, many patrol vehicle and few surveys on foot.

From a mountaineering point of view, used to the terrain and recognition "search" roads (even in unfamiliar areas at first), I know a little more on not being able to practice the same techniques that allow me can deal with rough terrain, identifying and recognizing the territories on the map under surveillance, and then search for and access roads on the ground recognize the old roads and trails, but work satisfaction, even "little" to a lower incidence of fires and preserve the beauty of our natural areas and fills satisfaction.
