Urbem is a social collective made up entirely of a diverse passionate and driven group of volunteers (currently 26 people and 16 nationalities) who are working together towards a common vision of reconnecting people to forests, the earth and each other.

We already have an amazing opportunity to create a fast forest in Bela Vista Park in Lisbon, which will become a hub of sustainability education, art, and events such as theatre and concerts and social gatherings.

Why join us?

● Be part of the solution in a climate-focused, positive movement

We are not just procrastinating, we are doing something right now. Urbem’s Fast Forests are fully sustainable within 2-3 years of planting and have proven to sequester 265% more CO2 per acre than traditional forests.

● Invest in the future of yourself and your community
As a resident of the city, your future is directly connected to the future of the city. Help us protect the city and take practical measures to cool the city and promote the health and wellbeing of its residents.

● Learn from experienced professionals
All our department leads come with more than 15 years’ professional experience in their respective fields

● Become part of a fun and interesting group with similar values who frequently meet for social events.

We are looking for people who can commit to regularly helping us 1 - 4 hours per week for at least three months.
