About the project

Forest conservation and survival – Schwaförden

📝 Detailed information

💼 What the programme involves

If you fancy being outside in nature, spending the evenings in front of a campfire and experiencing nature with people from all over the world while supporting the forester with practical hands-on work in the forest, you are perfect for this project in the Waldpädagogikzentrum Hahnhorst. The study part of the project will provide you with the knowledge of how to orient yourself in the forest, recognise eatable plants, make fire without tools and build a night camp out of natural materials. In addition, you will work together with the forester and forest workers and contribute to the improvement of natural habitats for rare plants and animals. In the mornings (getting up early!) you will start with your work experience. The survival workshops will take place in the afternoons.
