📝 Detailed information
💼 What the programme involves
You will participate in the construction of a wooden bird observatory which will be used by the environmental organisation "Les Corbeaux Gatinais Nature" to make an inventory of the fauna.
On the banks of the Loing, former quarries exploited by human have given way to ponds, wet meadows and woodlands, hosting a rich and fragile biodiversity. This 37-hectare site has been designated as a sensitive natural area by the city of Amilly, and is equipped with soft paths that welcome walkers, cyclists and nature lovers.
Using materials designed by a local company, the volunteers will build and assemble the observatory, so that the biodiversity protection associations can observe and follow the evolution of the local fauna.
You will also take part in the Festival of Europe, a major summer cultural event in Amilly that welcomes European delegations, concerts and numerous festivities that celebrate intercultural exchanges and strengthen solidarity between the inhabitants of the continent.
🏠 Accommodation on site
You will be accommodated in a house in shared rooms. Remember to bring a sleeping bag and a floor mat to sleep on. You will have access to separate male/female bathrooms and showers. A fully equipped kitchen and dining area will also be available to you. With the budget allocated to the animation team, you will participate in the shopping and the preparation of meals, giving priority to healthy and local products. You can bring your own recipes to share with the group. A washing machine or a Laundromat will be available during the stay (please take clothes for two weeks if possible).
