💼 What the programme involves

In the middle of the Saar-Hunsruck nature reserve, which spans the border triangle of Germany, France and Luxembourg, you ll be working on several conservation projects: maintaining various habitats, co-designing a nature trail, taking care of the forest, and taking down tree protector tubes and fences. The oldest Roman encampment in Germany was discovered in Hermeskeil. The main camp is in the shape of a trapezium and was surrounded by a V-shaped trench and an embankment, from which some parts are still around in the woodlands today. Your task is to recreate a Roman fireplace. You ll also be doing some maintenance work around the scout houses in which you ll be sleeping.

🏠 Accommodation on site

You ll be staying in basic scout houses in the middle of the forest. You ll cook your own meals together.
