🏢 About the local organisation
Bad Feilnbach is quite proud to be a region which is known for its marshes and its curative and regenerative mud baths. But the community also knows the value of environmental action Thats why it established the Sterntaler Filze, a region in which young and old alike can experience and learn about the marshes alongside guided paths. The nature here is protected and taken care of, as the community of Bad Feilnbach understands it as part of their citys history and their individual responsibility. By partaking in this project you will help to protect life on land (UN SDG 15).
💼 What the programme involves
In this camp you will help the community to take care of the marshes by helping with the tasks that arise naturally in such an untouched environment. This includes weeding out the overgrown areas, the replanting of plants and more. You will also help renovate the wooden paths which offer an inclusive element for wheelchair users and lead through the marshes. Last but not least you can help assist in redesigning the bird watching station Dont forget to bring sturdy boots and work clothes adapted for manual work in the marshes and be prepared for the occasional rainy weather
🏠 Accommodation on site
The exact accommodation isnt confirmed yet, but will be finalized within the next few weeks. You will likely stay at a local campside, which is quite luxurious: There are good sanitary facilities and a place to cook will be available. Your host will provide group tents, so you will only need to bring your own sleeping bags. If the campsite is not available or it is too cold to stay outside, you will be accommodated in the local sports hall which also has all the necessary facilities you will need.
