About Program
Alam-Pedja nature reserve lies in the heart of Estonia, far from the bustle of Tallinn. This ancient floodplain forms part of the wider wetland system of Lake Võrtsjärv. The beauty of the area is in its stillness and peace - a far cry from its use during the soviet era as a military training ground.
It's this quirk of history however, that has created an almost uninhabited and untouched natural area and on these holidays we'll have the very rare opportunity to work within it, alongside local people and Estonian volunteers helping to preserve the traditional management practices that have favoured a vast array of wildlife.
Estonian Fund for Nature (Eestimaa Looduse Fond, ELF) is a young and dynamic non-profit, non-governmental environmental organisation established in 1991. ELF's goal is to preserve natural diversity and to advocate a healthy environment in Estonia.
