About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Volunteer Camp in the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve Wienerwald About 10 volunteers will participate in this great attempt to maintain the typical natural environment/biodiversity of the Biosphere Reserve Wienerwald. We also want to show politicians and local communities that there are young people who do not shun hard work, who care for nature and who are willing to sacrifice their spare time to help conserve areas worthy of protection. Dry grasslands form a rare and endangered habitat in the Biosphere Reserve Wienerwald. We will cut grass, bushes and trees, and remove the biomass from the areas to suppress the beginning of forest growth. Our goal is to conserve and enhance biodiversity in unique and rare habitats. We will also have time to get to know each other and learn about ecological protection.

🏠 Accommodation on site

You will be staying at the scout centre NÖ Pfadfinder und Pfadfinderinnen Landesverband, near Vienna, Austria. The facility is equipped with dormitories, bath rooms and a common kitchen. Volunteers are accommodated in the dormitories. Regular public transport is available. The food will mostly be prepared by YOU. We will make teams for each day who will cook for the rest. We will arrange what to cook according to your needs (special diets, allergies etc.), but food will be simple and will try to avoid meat and expensive treats.

🎒 Leisure activities

A SCI workcamp doesn't only consist of work and leisure time, but you should also learn something concrete. Apart from contributing to protection of endangered species by physical work you will also learn about them as well as about other plants and animals in the area. We will reflect upon ecological problems and initiatives that one can take in order to support environmental protection and promote a sustainable green Europe. But the study part also depends on you! The idea of a camp is also that you learn from each other :)

ℹ️ Additional information

The project is implemented under the European Solidarity Corps Programme, financed by the European Commission.
The participating organisations have to be mindful of these needs as they are responsible for providing a respectful and trusting hosting environment. At the same time, the organisations participating in the initiative devote a great deal of time, energy and resources to set up a high-quality activity; they should therefore expect that European Solidarity Corps participants show a similar level of respect for the local communities and the people that are directly concerned by the activities (https://youth.europa.eu/solidarity/mission_en).
