💼 What the programme involves
Rangsdorf lies 15km south of the Berlin city border. It s a place with around 11,000 inhabitants and lots of natural landscape around the Rangsdorf Lake. In order to make this landscape accessible to the general public, a network of connected footpaths was established in 2005 has been developed little by little ever since. Under the guidance of the local Landschaftspflegevereins (Countryside Trust) and in co-operation with the Berlin-Brandenburg airports, you and your team will help to work further on this network of footpaths. Your main tasks will be maintenance work, repairs and renovations of individual sections of paths, removing garbage and taking care of nearby grassy and meadowland areas. You could also build small items such as sitting areas, signs or birdhouses. Most of the work will be manual. Local foresters, conservation experts and Rangsdorf council workers will help you with complicated tasks. At the end of the camp, there will be a presentation of your efforts to the general public.
