Habitats for People and Animals I

If you are enthusiastic about nature and protecting the environment, the come to the Märkische Schweiz Nature Park: 40km to the east of Berlin, the park not only offers unique natural landscapes, but also the backdrop to our project. By working together with the park’s administration team and the Drei Eichen environmental education centre, you will not only get to know the park and its surroundings, but you will also play an active role in shaping it. There will also be young people from the local area on-site. People and pets live on the grounds of the Environmental Education Center “Three Oaks” - and often many guests: children, families, seminar groups. Together with you we want to build some roofs as rain protection - for the summer kitchen in the tipi village and for the storage of wood and construction material. For activities in between “Three Oaks “ (Drei Eichen) with its terrain offers many opportunities to learn about plants and animals, nature conservation and alternative ways of life and to actively participate. In different nature areas in the nature park Märkische Schweiz we will carry out landscape conservation work together on several days. In doing so, we will ensure the protection of the native plants that grow there. Historically, these sites were created and maintained by a lot of manual labor - mowing adapted to the season and grazing by sheep and goats. In our workcamp, we help with that. We also renew sections of hiking trails. All work will take place outdoors. Besides this, there will be a diverse programme of environmental educational activities for you to take part in! http://www.dreichen.de/
