💼 What the programme involves

Work alongside experts to clear shrubs and burn the resulting cuttings, remove grass clippings from conservation areas using rakes and pitchforks (on sloped terrain), and repair maintenance paths. It is essential to bring sturdy work boots with a good tread or hiking shoes, as the work takes place on steep terrain! Excursions to the many attractions around Lake Constance are possible. On one day, there is the option to go sailing and have a barbecue at Yacht Club Sipplingen e.V.

🏠 Accommodation on site
