MELLE'S BIO’SPHERE

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

Melle, a small, lovely, and very dynamic town, is known for its rich local heritage, including a UNESCO roman church, a collection of old motorbikes, middle age silver mines, and a perennial contemporary art collection. The town of Melle is a loyal partner of Solidarités Jeunesses, and has hosted several workcamps over the last few years. This small city is very concerned with environmental protection, and it has created a botanic garden that nurtures more than 1800 different species.

💼 What the programme involves

Devoted to environmental awareness, the workcamp will work on developping the biodiversity of a site classified in Natura 2000 (an European network of natural sites). The work will consist of making a reproduction den for a protected species of bats. During your stay, you will participate in the European Night of the Bat, as well as the cultural event of « Les Nuits de Saint-Hilaire ».

🏠 Accommodation on site

Indoors, in the tourist hosting center of Melle, located in the center of the village.
