Looking for a way to give a helping hand?
Volunteers are the backbone of Le Nichoir. We cannot do what we do without them.
Our volunteers help us with many different tasks, from cleaning aviaries and food preparation to maintenance work and translation. Although the majority of volunteers help us in our peak season, from May to September, others are involved all year long!
