Soak up the sun with conservation work in Emstal - Meppen

Your tasks in Meppen and the surrounding area will take place in various conservation areas: culturally historical meadows used for grazing, located on the rivers Hase and Ems. Here your group will be cutting out the poisonous “Jakobskreutzkraut” plant, which the Galioway cattle are not allowed to eat. Equipped with wellington boots and fishing trousers, you will also get rid of birch and pine trees (usually found elsewhere) from the moor, so that the endangered species of plants and animals, such as the wild geese, grass snakes and sundew, can propagate once again. So that the kingfishers can build dens in order for their species to grow, you will be cutting away large piles of sand from the river. Besides this, you will be helping to build a footpath and will be placing information boards along it. You will be staying in 4 holiday homes in a former Schultenhof farmhouse. There are bikes available for you to use to go on trips in the local area. The town of Meppen and its train station are located 7km away from your accommodation.
