Resumo: The Association is a civic association, which was established in 1993 from the group of undergraduates and local people in response to the revival of the controversial water dam project. Our mission is to protect natural values and the environment, especially in the river valley, direct participation and increased public participation in decision-making on projects and documents with an impact on the environment and environmental education of children and young people in particular.

Our volunteers plant and protect trees, clean the landscape and rivers bank from waste, create spaces for the survival of rare plants and animals in the valley of the river Slatina, but also in the urban environment of the town of Zvolen and around it. They do non-formal education activities for children, young people, and the general public about what environmental problems are and how we can solve them as individuals, members of smaller communities or residents of a settlement, country. We comment on strategic documents and draft laws on the protection of trees and nature in general. We are helping active groups of citizens to participate in solving specific environmental problems in town and its surroundings.

The partners of the activities are mainly locals and young people - students of the University, high school students, and young volunteers. We also cooperate with the municipality and Zvolenská Slatina and vocational and educational Institutions (Technical University, State Nature Protection, Institute of Forest Ecology at Slovak Academy of Science)

Tarefas: During the activity, the volunteer will be working on raising awareness of young people about the meaning of trees in the landscape, their importance for the adaptation to climate change and their impact on biodiversity.
