📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
Machemont is a small town located in the North-East of Oise, between the mounts of Noyon. For a long time, the city was an important stones extraction site. During World War I, these quarries were part of the front line: used as cantonment site, infirmary… After the war, the site has fallen into disuse and was regretfully used as garbage dump. “La Machemontoise” is working for several years to highlight the site and its valorization as remembrance place. Following the success of 2 workcamps in 2012 and 2013, we will continue the partnership with the dynamic association which is celebrating its 10 years of existence in 2018.
💼 What the programme involves
- Continuation of the highlight of a trench by cutting and evacuating plant residues that have accumulated over many years.
- Small work of masonry on the site
There's something to do for everyone!
