🏢 About the local organisation
It is the 12th time that the community of Lauterbach invites a workcamp! Above all, the local host is very happy to be supported by a workcamp at different environmental and construction tasks in a nature protection area! By volunteering in this project, you are actively protecting nature and biodiversity (UN SDG 15).
💼 What the programme involves
A variety of tasks related to nature conservation are waiting for your help! During this workcamp you will be working in the forest to maintain a hiking trail and you will be completing other tasks including:
• removing so-called “neophytes” (invasive non-native vegetation) from the nature protection area;
• cleaning and clearing of vegetation in biotopes like ponds and tarns.
• You may also repair fences and maintain grasslands around fruit trees.
Be prepared for hard physical work! Due to working in damp and steep areas (ponds), rubber boots and/or sturdy shoes are necessary for working effectively!
🏠 Accommodation on site
The workcamp group of volunteers will stay in a nice community house in the middle of the forest, where you can find sanitary facilities, showers and a well-equipped kitchen. You can have a look at their website: http://moosenmaettleweb.de. There are 4 bed-rooms for you. Due to the position of the house in a very rural area, it is likely that there will not be access to internet and no coverage for mobile phones. Just be prepared to spend two wonderful, adventurous weeks away from your busy and usual everyday life.
