📝 Detailed information
💼 What the programme involves
During the project weeks, ditches are sealed. To achieve this, materials are transported into the area using wheelbarrows over wooden planks, boards are hammered and screwed into the ground, and sacks filled with sawdust and wood chips are usedâor the material is directly compacted into the ditches to seal them. Teamwork is essential in this process. Additionally, shrubs and young trees such as birch, spruce, and willow are cut down and removed from the mire. The work is hands-on, wet, and muddy, but at the same time, great care is needed to avoid damaging the fragile mire vegetation. To protect the peatland, volunteers move exclusively on wooden walkways, which they build themselves.
