📝 Detailed information
💼 What the programme involves
Volunteers' activities will be mostly manual work on fresh air, so be prepared for a hard work ;). The main tasks will be gardening, forestry, cleaning and maintenance works in a historic park (including mowing, weeding, transplanting, cutting wood, chopping firewood, collecting deadwood, laying wood etc), renovating and painting small architecture. The project will include weeding of the green wilderness, which has captured some parts of the park. This means the clearing of small or middle aged trees and plants that are not typically for the park as well as cleaning the parts of the ground currently covered by with ivy and blackberry.
There might be also a possibility to take part or organise the short workshops for local children and other cultural events organised by the Foundation in the Artist's House. Volunteers will be working about 6 hours per day, five days per week.
