📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
Look forward to manual work in beautiful nature and open-hearted village life. This ecology-workcamp is a cooperation with the regional office for nature and landscape protection in Tübingen and the regional organisation for the preservation of the cultural heritage. Two hills of a former wine-growing area near the famous old university town of Tuebingen in Hirschau are well-known as a habitat for rare and endangered species and have been declared nature reserves. These areas have to be maintained regularly so that bushes and trees do not overrun the vegetation.
💼 What the programme involves
Working with experts, woods and meadows have to be cut and cleared and deadwood has to be removed from the protected area.
🏠 Accommodation on site
In a municipal building on camp beds, modern kitchen, and sanitary facilities.
You will cook together in the community kitchen.

ℹ️ Additional information
As a vivid university town, Tübingen has numerous pubs and, of course, an active nightlife. It is also a town of historical significance, with many famous half-timbered buildings and the opportunity to punt on the river Neckar (a specialty unique to Tübingen in Germany). You will work in a slope position; therefore you have to be properly equipped. Sturdy shoes required! No internet access.
Please be advised that due to the corona pandemic and related measures, there may be changes. We ask you not to book your trip before we have informed you if your workcamp will take place at the planned location. We will let you know about this at least four weeks before it starts.
