CESSENON-SUR-ORB – A river runs through it … Let’s preserve it!

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

The Herault department is our partner. The project takes place in the beautiful village of Cessenon-Sur-Orb. We are renewing this partnership for the fourth year with once again an environmental workcamp in this commune. Your work for the protection of sensitive natural areas, and more particularly of the river that runs through the village is important! You too can contribute to the preservation of biodiversity!

💼 What the programme involves

*** VERSION EN FRANCAIS DISPONIBLE EN FIN DE DESCRIPTION *** *** French version at the end of the description *** We propose you to come and enhance a site located by a river in the heart of the Mediterranean nature! The intervention will consist in enhancing the site that welcomes locals and tourists (restoration of the tables and barbecue). The project is carried out in partnership with the environment department of the Herault department. It aims to preserve the biodiversity and the sometimes-fragile ecological balance of these sensitive natural areas. We also propose you to continue the realization of a fresco on the theme of the local fauna and flora!

🏠 Accommodation on site

You will stay at the municipal campsite on the riverbank in Cessenon-Sur-Orb. Sleeping in tents in pairs (bring your own camping mat and sleeping bag). We also have a big tent for collective life and all the necessary equipment. You will share the various collective tasks, including meal preparation, on a rotating basis. We will use healthy and local products. For specific diets, please let us know before the start of the workcamp.

📍 About the location

The village of Cessenon-Sur-Orb is located north of Beziers in the South of France. The river Orb runs through it. The area has an exceptional natural and cultural heritage! You will have the opportunity to take advantage of the leisure and outdoor activities available on the site. You will also have the opportunity to attend the village's traditional festivals organised during this period and learn about the local culinary delights!
