📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
Niefern-Oeschelbronn is a small town in the South-West of Germany; it consists of the two districts Niefern and Oeschelbronn. This year, the town is going to host its second international workcamp After helping to open a nature kindergarten the first time around, the town now plans to take different communal and environmental actions. By supporting the community of Niefern-Oeschelbronn you will help to contribute to a sustainable town (UN SDG 11), as well as protect life on land (UN SDG 15).
💼 What the programme involves
In this camp, your main task will be to refurbish and ecologically enhance a hiking path between the two communities Niefern and Oeschelbronn, which has been partly damaged by heavy rainfalls. Here, you will also build a dry wall under the guidance of a trained professional. Alongside this path, there are several fruit trees which you will help to revitalise by cutting back their branches, as well as planting new seedlings. Furthermore, there are several natural hedges and flower strips in the process of being planted.In addition, you will also help to establish an insect hotel, a clearance cairn and a deadwood pile to support the local animal-population.
🏠 Accommodation on site
Accomodation will be provided, but the location still needs to be confirmed: it will be either in Oeschelbronn or in Niefern. In either case, camp beds will be provided, so you only need to bring a sleeping bag. Kitchen and sanitary facilities will of course be available.
