💼 What the programme involves

Highlights of this camp: comfortable accommodation, numerous excursions at the weekend: Frankfurt, Cologne, Mainz and much more. Group feeling in the middle of the forest! Are you a nature lover? Then this is the perfect workcamp for you! Here you will have the opportunity to spend almost 4 weeks working and living in the forest. Your main task will be to plant trees as part of an active contribution to conservation! You will also be helping out with several other conservation tasks, such as forest maintenance, constructing and repairing protective fences, and preserving the biotopes in the area. By working on these activities, you will also learn a lot about the ecosystem of a forest!
