Every holiday comes with lots of free time to relax, explore your surroundings, see the sights and have fun. Unless otherwise indicated the holiday price does not include travel. You have to make your own way to the pre-arranged meeting point. We do send out contact numbers for the other people in your group, and you can arrange to travel together if you wish. It's not always necessary to have done any practical conservation work before you go, as the holidays are run by trained BTCV leaders who will teach you any new skills.
Some holidays do require experienced volunteers.
We try to have a mixed group in terms of experience, age and sex, so it's not always possible to accept people on a first come first served basis. As far as possible, we try to choose a leader for each group who speaks the language. The holidays are set up in conjunction with local organisations with the aim of involving the community in any on-going work. Details about the accommodation appears in the holiday descriptions, but more information will be sent with your confirmation letter and final details. I'm a vegetarian.
