Protecting the climate together - Sauerlandcamp

Do you want to take part in a super lively conservation workcamp? Then you’re in the right place! Sauerland, and Winterberg in particular, is a popular winter skiing destination in Germany. But the region has a lot to offer during the summer as well. Together with several park rangers and volunteers from the museum gardens, you will be completing various activities in order to protect the climate and the environment: you will be planting small larches and fir trees as well as protecting shrubs from being damaged by other wildlife. You will free up streams and maintain biotopes. Your help is needed in Hallenberg with the construction of an insect hotel as part of the expansion of the NaturGarten at the Nature Park School. You will be mowing a wild meadow in Medebach and doing maintenance work on the geotopes along the trail in Rothaarsteig. You will also be helping to set up racks and signage along the trails and clearing shrubbery from the paths. In the museum gardens, we will be creating both a village garden and a school garden, so here there will be many activities for you to help with: creating garden paths and raised beds, building a garden shed and a bee hotel, planting seeds, as well as restoring a natural stone wall. There is an additional registration fee of 50€ for participants who are not from Germany.
