This summer, conservation team in Lithuania will continue restoring small, declining Aquatic Warbler populations in Žuvintas through translocation. Around 50 Aquatic Warbler chicks will be moved and raised for release here — and we need volunteers to help make it possible.
An experienced team of ornithologists, led by a specialist in insectivorous birds, will care for the chicks. But love for nature alone isn’t enough — these tiny songbirds need huge amounts of live food, especially insects, every single day.
What volunteers will do
We’re looking for volunteers to support the project by helping to:
- Catch insects for feeding (using an entomological net, net-sweeping)
- Sort insects for daily feeding
- Help preparing supplementary food
- Assist with other daily tasks as needed (depending on the site and schedule)
Why join?
Volunteering is a hands-on way to support nature conservation — and a rare opportunity to:
- See the Aquatic Warbler translocation process up close
- Work alongside inspiring field conservationists
- Learn practical skills and contribute to real conservation impact
- Be part of a story that helps a globally threatened species
When we need you
Volunteers are needed from 1 June to 10 July 2026.
Priority will be given to volunteers who can stay longer (ideally at least one week).
Become a hero for the Aquatic Warbler and help restore this rare songbird in Lithuania.
