About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

The work you will do depends on what will be necessary at the time. The possible jobs include: freeing of copper beeches: in some areas of the national park Harz, conifers have to be removed to free space for deciduous trees. The spruces are removed manually, using branch shears and saws. Maintaining hiking trails: many people come to the national park to seek peace and quiet. Of course there are many hiking trails for that reason. These trails have to be checked regularly and, if needed, repaired. This could be renewing the surface, repairing handrails etc. Removing neophytes: neophytes are plants, which grow in non-native areas. Initially, knowingly or unknowingly planted by humans, they spread and often dominate the habitat, ousting out native plants. Those neophytes have to be removed manually.

🏠 Accommodation on site

You will stay in the forest youth hostel Brunnenbachsmühle in the national park Harz. You will cook together – your opportunity to show and share international recipes.

📍 About the location

You can get to know the legendary mountain wilderness of the national park Harz. The Harz is home to the biggest mountains in Northern Germany and has a lot to offer: explore its biodiversity on hiking trips, enjoy a ride with the “Brockenbahn” or just relax in the quiet, appreciate the amazing view of the mountains. For more action, you always have the opportunity to visit the beautiful cities of Leipzig, Halle, Braunschweig or Berlin.
