Gomati

Volunteers will be involved in cleaning and opening a current traditional stone path that comes alongside with a river. Total length of the path is about 1 km. In the start of the traditional path there is a stone bridge, 850 years old and a small church. Also there is a stone fountain and path ends in the cave of the local Saint. This unique path is in need of care cause a strong flood disaster destroyed most of its parts, and thus lost significant features and functionality. More specifically volunteers will: a) Clean the path from vegetation and bushes and maintain the steps. b) Replace old materials (like stones) where is need to. b) Clean the old small stone bridge and improve its construction. c) Create sign posts and information panels and put them in appropriate points along the path. d) Clean an exist viewpoint and create a bench. Εnvironmental work of any kind is actually of great value for the region and the local people, that have become particularly sensitive to issues of preservation and efficient use of natural and cultural resources, due to a project of gold mining taking place in the region. This is the first year that a workcamp is taking place in Gomati. During the workcamp weather will be hot, so work will be physically demanding. Any changes in the working schedule and/or type of work will be discussed and decided as a group and in close cooperation with the local host.
