"Every year we need people to help us with our bear conservation field work such as mapping bear dens, finding bear day beds and scats. The more citizen scientists we have to do this, the better we can protect the brown bears in Sweden, so we would be very happy if you could come and support us with our research and conservation work here in Sweden."
Andrea Friebe, local scientist, Sweden.
"This was a great volunteer expedition to Sweden to work on brown bears in Sweden. Enjoyed all the teamwork and camaraderie."
