💼 What the programme involves

Together with the Wesel Biological Station, you'll be undertaking many different conservation tasks. You'll be helping on a project which is supported by the LIFE European Conservation Fund, by preserving historical oak forests, moors, heaths and sand grassland. Amongst other things, this project is about removing invasive, non-resident plant species so that the natural community of species can be restored. Depending on your interests, the Biological Station can organise guided nature tours such as a boat trip or an observation of bats.

🏠 Accommodation on site

You'll be staying in a simple house which is in an idyllic, but remote, location in the forest.You'll prepare and cook your own meals together in groups.

📍 About the location

You'll be living in the middle of the forest, where you'll be able to sit together around a camp fire in the evenings and have a barbecue. The nearest town (Schermbeck) is about 25 minutes away on foot (1.5km). From there you can go on hikes, bicycles tours or canoeing on the Lippe river. In the surrounding areas you could visit the Colonia Ulpia Traiana – the third-biggest Roman town north of the Alps and Germany's largest archaeological outdoor museum. You can go on day-trips to the cities of Essen, Dortmund, Cologne, Düsseldorf or Münster. The Hanseatic town of Wesel also offers many free-time opportunities. In the first weekend of August there is a large city festival with a lot of live music and fairs taking place.
