This year the work will contribute to restoring the original habitat, which years ago was characterised by various species of aquatic insects and birds before invasive reed began to cover the water surface and lead to progressive drying. In addition, an underlying and important aim of the project is to encourage local people to take more interest in the conservation of their local natural area, leading a revival in traditional farming methods used in Hokkaido. Having an international group working alongside them encourages Japanese participants to see the true value of their own natural resources - and the fun involved in their conservation!
As the UK's biggest environmental volunteering charity, our aim is to make the maximum contribution to the communities and places we work in and we always work with a local partner organisation. This is a unique holiday in a unique place. Working directly with a local environmental organisations staff, volunteers and local people you'll have the chance to experience Japan in a way no other holiday can offer. Living, laughing and working as a group, you're not only changing the world, you'll change your life.
We invite every traveller who books a holiday via us to send in a review. Because we don't run the holidays they're completely independent and unedited... remember to read between the lines though, as two people on the same holiday can have different views!
