📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
The village of La Salvetat Sur Agout is known in France for its natural spring water and its sparkling water. It is located at altitude, in the lake region, between the sea and the mountains. This area has an exceptional natural heritage.
Within the Natural Park of the Haut Languedoc, you will have the opportunity to appreciate its forests, lakes and rivers as well as its numerous outdoor activities.
This is a first partnership with the village of La Salvetat Sur Agout. The municipality also wanted to involve the fishing federation and local associations in this project. This project was born out of the desire of the inhabitants, particularly the older ones, to be able to take full advantage of the river.
💼 What the programme involves
Would you like to get involved in preserving nature while enjoying the river?
We offer you the opportunity to work on the banks of a river while taking care to preserve the site and the fish! It is sometimes difficult to access the river, which is why your job will consist in making wooden steps to allow the elderly and people with mobility problems to access the banks and fish in the river!
In collaboration with the fishing federation and the municipality, the project consists in facilitating access to the river, by enhancing it while preserving fish resources.
The aim is to build No-kill fishing routes so that young and old alike can enjoy fishing! Do you like the peace and quietness of nature? Would you like to learn how to catch a fish? This project is for you!
🏠 Accommodation on site
You will be accommodated at the municipal campsite. You will sleep in tents in pairs (bring your own sleeping bag and duvet) and live together in a municipal room provided for the group. You will share the various collective tasks and prepare meals together.
A budget will be allocated to the leaders and you will participate in the shopping and in the preparation of the meals, favouring healthy and local products.
