Connecting with nature has never been as fulfilling as when we are part of its preservation and care. In the heart of Poreč, a beautiful coastal town, lies a unique opportunity—volunteering to care for the local squirrels. This initiative not only helps these charming creatures in their natural habitat but also educates the local community on the importance of coexisting with wildlife.
Volunteering Invitation
Support the Squirrels
Friendly squirrels enrich our forests and cityscape with their presence. Volunteers will provide them with food and water throughout the year, especially during harsh weather conditions. This will help maintain their populations and ensure their well-being.
Education as a Key
Volunteers will have the opportunity to educate passersby and the local community on the rules of interacting with squirrels. They will learn how to behave to preserve the natural balance and ensure the safety and well-being of these woodland residents.
