Onuma 2 (Hokkaido)

📝 Detailed information

🏢 About the local organisation

This workcamp has been organized with Onuma Milestone 22, a local NGO made by President of Fishermen’s Cooperative and Director of international exchange association since 2004. Though Onuma lake has been a popular tourism spot for a long time because of its beautiful scenery, it has been polluted by over use of agricultural chemicals in cattle farming and erosion from abandoned forests with alien trees. President of Cooperative has bought a forest and wants to revive it to original nature with native trees!

💼 What the programme involves

Volunteers will 1) work in the forest (removing some alien conifer trees that disturb growth of other plants and animals, maintain the foot paths, etc.), 2) make the rafts with reeds to purity the water of the lake and 3) do other work needed in the community (e.g., cleaning the lake, removing alien plants, organizing Eco Sponge Action, etc.)

🏠 Accommodation on site

Cabin rent for the workcamp. Meals will be cooked by volunteers by turns. Sleeping bag is necessary.
