EXPEDITION SUMMARY

Note that this expedition is now 10 instead of 8 days, as in the past.

This bear conservation volunteer expedition to Sweden (Europe) will take you to the picturesque and quintessentially Scandinavian countryside of Dalarna province to help study and protect the local brown bear population. Working in small teams, in flat or gently rolling hill terrain of heath, forests and wetlands, you will find and document bear winter dens and summer day beds when the bears are away (you will be able to tell this from their GPS position or collar signals). Detailed knowledge about dens and denning behaviour is important, because it helps to avoid human-bear conflict and provides important population, reproductive and other ecological information that is critical for successful bear conservation. Join us on this Sweden bear volunteer project!
