💼 What the programme involves

The town of Wuppertal needs your help with reptile conservation. In the Marscheider Forest, you ll be working along a route on a heath in order to increase biodiversity in the area again. For this, you ll be cutting ferns and collecting and removing wood, thereby creating light and space for the microorganisms. Besides this, you ll be building a deadwood shelter for the animals. In the forest educational centre, you ll build bird and bat boxes. Additionally, excursions into the forest itself and the Burgholz arboretum are planned.

🏠 Accommodation on site

You ll be staying in rooms with multiple beds in the YMCA home. The building is in a remote location. It is well furnished, but there is nothing outside reachable on foot. You ll cook your own meals together.
