If you enjoy being outside amongst nature, spending the evening around a camp-fire, discovering the forest first-hand with people from all around the world and working hands-on in the forest with real foresters, then this project at the Forestry Education Centre in Hahnhorst is exactly the one for you The study part of this project consists of several workshops like to start a fire without equipment, recognizing edible plants and prepare meals with them, to learn how to build a place to sleep for the night and archery. These workshops will prepare you for an overnight stay in the forest at the end of the project. Besides this, you ll be working in co-operation with foresters and forest workers on conservation projects in the forest and will help to improve the quality of habitats for rare species of plants and animals. In the mornings (you ll be working up early), you ll be focusing on the work tasks. The survival workshops will take place in the afternoons.
