🏢 About the local organisation
This workcamp is an occasion for a true immersion in nature : it will allow you to discover the beautiful Hautes-Alpes countryside, its fauna and its flora. The proposed work is accessible to all but it involves walking everyday to reach the site half way up the mountain and to be able to witness the progress made.
L’espace Randonnée (Hiking area) of the Pays du Buech (www.buech-rando.com) brings together five communities of communes in the Hautes Alpes around a common objective : develop, invigorate and promote non-motorised hiking activities (pedestrian, bike tourism, VTT and horse riding), for the purposes of tourism and local development. Due to extensive maintenance work required every year over the 1000 kilometres of trails, Espace Randonnée organises many international workcamps since 2010 in partnership with the association “Les Villages des Jeunes” (www.villagesdesjeunes.org).
💼 What the programme involves
This workcamp will aim to clear the trails that have been invaded by vegetation, cutting down some trees and pruning.
🏠 Accommodation on site
In collective rooms, in the Hameau de Vaunières
