About the project

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

The dry grasslands of the so-called “Weinviertler Klippenzone” in the European Green Belt along the border between Austria and Czech Republic are habitat of a lot of different rare plants and animal species. To maintain these habitats and to avoid invasion of bushes into the grasslands it is necessary to establish regular management. Biotope maintenance like mowing or removing bushes or neophytes will be implemented on rupicolous or steppic grasslands in protected areas - situated amidst a beautiful wine-growing landscape. This helps to preserve rare species like the critically endangered Feather Grass (Stipa tirsa) or the butterfly Mountain Alcon Blue (Phengaris rebeli).

🏠 Accommodation on site

The accommodations will be very basic. First week we will sleep in tents, whereas second week we will have simple shared group accommodation. 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.

⚠️ Requirements

The Participant profile: Are you passionate about nature and eager to make a difference?

Deadline: 30/07/2026 12:00

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).
