About the project

House of the Nature

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Founded in 1999, the House of Nature Sundgau is an initiation center for nature and environment. It aims to help the discovery of the nature and awareness of environmental issues for everyone. At the end of the project, the municipality will organize a village festival that residents and volunteers can celebrate together in a friendly atmosphere for the rebirth of the apiary!

💼 What the programme involves

For its ninth workcamp, it is associated with the town of Guevenatten which has launched in 2015 the restoration of an ancient communal apiary, small half-timbered building whose wooden frame has already been rebuilt. Previously trained by an expert artisan, volunteers will work at filling the spaces between the beams. The technique used is that of the cob in the old way, typical half-timbered buildings in the Rhine region. Other heritage work could also be offered, depending on the needs and available time.

🏠 Accommodation on site

Volunteers will sleep in tents in an orchard and will be able to enjoy the facilities of the House of Nature: kitchen, showers, toilets, dining room, ... Tents provided. Bicycles available.
