💼 What the programme involves
15km south of the Berlin city border lies Rangsdorf, a place with around 11,000 inhabitants and a large amount of nature around the edge of the large Rangsdorf lake. In order to bring the landscape for visitors and nature lovers, a connected system of hiking trails has been consistently developed since 2005 and new elements are constantly being added. With help from your team, we will be working together on the climate garden under the guidance of local landscapers’ association and in cooperation with the Berlin-Brandenburg airport company. Tasks in the climate garden include general gardening work, such as mowing, raking, weeding and watering plants. As well as this, a drywall, an awning and a wooden fence need to be built. We will also be building a colourful entrance gate and other small things such as a seating area and watchpoint, signposts or birdhouses. Most of the work will be done by hand. There will be local partners such as foresters, nature conservation authorities and employees of the Rangsdorf community who are able to help with more complicated tasks. Besides this, there will be a small summer party to organise in order to celebrate with the children and families from Rangsdorf.
🏠 Accommodation on site
You will be staying in a primary school. There is a barbecue area and a volleyball court in the garden. You will make the 5km journey from your accommodation to the work-site by bicycle.
The group will prepare and cook meals together.
📍 About the location
