💼 What the programme involves
With your help, an area in the municipality of Edewecht previously used for agriculture will be converted into a forest area in the autumn. Guided by an experienced gardener, you will be planting trees, building a nature observation deck, and designing and erecting an information board. In these two weeks you can learn a lot about nature and landscape conservation, as well as getting some fresh air before the winter starts. If you're lucky with the weather, you will experience two golden autumn weeks – an Ammerland Indian summer.
🏠 Accommodation on site
You will be staying in a school in Edewecht. Camp beds will be provided for you in 2 of the classrooms. There is a large school kitchen, a communal living area, and outdoor space with a barbecue area. You will be able to use the showers and toilets in the school building. The group will prepare and cook meals together.
📍 About the location
Edewecht is a small community of about 7,000 inhabitants in a calm and tranquil region, the Ammerland. In addition to several farms, there are parks, gardens and many inviting hiking and cycle routes.
You can explore the area by bike with a very well-developed network of cycle routes. The university town of Oldenburg is only 20km away and is easily accessible by public transport. At the weekend you can go on trips to Bremen, Hamburg or the North Sea.
