The workcamp of the previous year has achieved visible results and good reception in the local community.
💼 What the programme involves
Titeski breg was by the regulation of the Serbian government declared a Special Nature Reserve in 2012 as the first category of great national and international importance. The protected area covers two landfills which are assessed to be removed. Some work has been already done and a large part was removed but remained waste could not be removed mechanically. For this reason, the workcamp is organized so the volunteers from abroad as well as local volunteers would finish cleaning the residual waste. This will create conditions for the indigenous plant species, which were suppressed by this dump, again return to their natural habitat. In addition, the volunteers will work on removing invasive plant species within the reserve, counting the population of ground squirrels, making and installing birdhouses, installing pillars that mark the boundary of the reserve, marking of pedestrian and bicycle paths within the reserve.
