BAREV TRAILS PROJECT
Barev Trails is an international volunteering project taking place in Armenia. It's a cooperation between the Wesser Foundation, WWF Armenia and Trails For Change NGO. International and local volunteers, together are working in protected areas of Armenia, creating amenities for hikers and outdoor lovers.
All volunteering work is being organized by professionals. Together are installing signage, interpretive panels, blazings, vista points, collecting trash, building bridges, and of course; trail building and brush clearing.
