Alsace Nature relies on ideas

 

The paper “40 proposals for a collective action ” constitutes a “work sheet” for Alsace Nature.

 

Alsace Nature relies on people who share and spread those values and ideas

 
Every day, many volunteers (more than 300) work for general interest programmes on nature and environmental protection.
These volunteers are divided between Executive Committees, institutional representations, Subject Networks and sector-based groups.
More generally, Alsace Nature has 3000 individual members and 147 federative associations.


A motivated team of employees at the disposal of our volunteers is focused on :

  • Administrative support
  • Event organization and taking action to raise awareness
