More light, more energy… and new opportunities to make a difference.
With the arrival of spring, the landscape transforms: the days grow longer, colors return, and nature’s rhythm invites us to step outside and explore.
It is in this setting that we launch the new Spring 2026 Volunteer Calendar: an open invitation to everyone who wants to enjoy the outdoors while actively contributing to the conservation of the Rota Vicentina Trails.
After challenging months, we resume our field activities with renewed motivation and a series of initiatives that will continue until the beginning of summer.
What can you expect from this season? 👀
🥾 Maintenance Hikes
Trail Maintenance Hikes remain at the heart of our volunteer program. They are unique moments where connection with nature goes hand in hand with teamwork and caring for the territory.
In addition to the regular maintenance of the Trails, this spring we are placing special focus on litter collection, reinforcing actions in particularly sensitive areas such as the Fishermen’s Trail. These efforts are essential to preserve environmental quality and ensure an authentic experience for those who walk these paths.
Every contribution helps keep the Trails accessible, safe, and well cared for for everyone.
🚲 Maintenance Bike Rides
Designed for those who prefer to explore by bike, maintenance rides combine the discovery of Cycling Routes with small maintenance actions along the way.
A dynamic and collaborative way to care for the trails, one ride at a time.
Join us! 😎
Walk, ride, or simply care: every form of participation is welcome and makes a difference in preserving this unique territory.
Participation is free, subject to prior registration, as places are limited.
If, for any reason, you are unable to attend after registering, we kindly ask that you inform us in advance, allowing someone else to take your place.
Invite friends, choose your dates, and come be part of this mission with us.
For more information, we are available through the contacts provided on the poster.
