📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

Buitenplaats Vaeshartelt is a historic estate in the south of the Netherlands, known for its 19th-century industrial and garden architecture. The estate with their beautiful gardens and surrounding landscapes, is dedicated to preserving its cultural and ecological heritage. Volunteers will assist in the maintenance and restoration of the gardens, working on tasks like pruning, weeding, and improving the garden’s overall appearance. They will also help with the upkeep of the surrounding green spaces and landscape management. As part of the conservation efforts, volunteers will engage in sustainable practices, such as composting and recycling organic waste.

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).
