Volunteer Programs

Volunteers in Kronotsky reserve and South Kamchatka sanctuary are engaged in housekeeping duties at lodges, distribution of souvenir products, clearing and marking of paths, making new paths for executing guarding and other activities. They help researchers of the reserve to collect field materials, take part in repair and construction works, implement designer projects, take pictures and shoot videos in the reserve area and do many other things.
