About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

During the project, you will work as a forest ranger in the National Park. Your work helps to protect nature and keep the park healthy. The park has open landscapes and heathland. These areas need regular care so plants and animals can continue to live there. You will help remove unwanted plants by hand. This work is careful and important, because machines cannot be used in these natural areas. Other work will be in caring for animals. You will also help restore a small site hut and support basic care for animals living on the property.

🏠 Accommodation on site

The accommodation is a stone building located in the woods. A separate wooden building on the terrain is used for sleeping. It is an open room and SIW will provide a room divider for privacy (m/f). Airbeds are provided, but please bring your own sleeping bag and pillow. A kitchen is available with all facilities, including a washing machine. Volunteers cook and clean together. There is 1 indoor shower, and SIW will place 2 additional outdoor hot-water showers. A separate building is available for indoor activities, and there is plenty of outdoor space with BBQ possibilities.

🎒 Leisure activities

We will provide participants access to online training modules provided by the European Solidarity Corps and/ or SIW.

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).
