About the project

Biotope in action

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Many natural habitats for frogs, newts and other amphibia have disappeared in the Alps. This is why biologists created several ponds at the Mühlauer Fuchsloch, a small area of forests and meadows in Innsbruck. Every year the NGO Natopia is looking for volunteers to maintain the ponds and to keep this lively and diverse biotope alive. This year for the first time, volunteers from SCI will support the management of this area.

💼 What the programme involves

Mostly we will cut grass with a scythe, collect the cut grass and remove bushes. We might also dig out the ponds or do other work that is needed for the maintenance of the biotope. Be aware that the work will be physically demanding.

🏠 Accommodation on site

We will sleep in a youth hostel. We will have breakfast and dinner in the hostel and prepare lunch by ourselves in the Fuchsloch.

📍 About the location

Innsbruck is the capital of Tyrol, a federal state in the west of Austria and located in the middle of the Alps. Mühlauer Fuchsloch is located on the outskirts of the city.
