This Work Camp aims both at combating plastic pollution and spreading awareness about the importance of keeping our oceans clean from waste. The work consists of collecting waste that is washed up from the sea and cleaning the coast on selected stretches. If the weather prevents work on the beach, the work will be more nature maintenance of meadows, heaths, and forests. This includes the cutting down of trees and bushes to maintain the forest areas and other practical work. While working, you can enjoy the fresh air, the beautiful nature, and the fantastic view of the beaches, thanks to your highly valued and important workWe advise you to bring warm clothes that are fit for outdoor work and might get dirty.
