📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation
It is the 8th time we organize this workcamp, together with the town hall of Tracy le Mont, at the heart of the Laigue forest. This little charming village, environmentally responsible, wants to keep on the preservation of its environment, its history and emphasize the participation of the youngest members of the community. Your task will be to carry on new animations during the month of August. To be noted that there are many hiking trails starting from the village and going across the forest. In a nutshell, it's a heritage workcamp for Nature lovers!
💼 What the programme involves
This year, new environmental projects will be proposed. Including pruning and clearing of the village's paths, you will have to take care of the maintenance of the trails going across the village and a forest filled with History. You will also contribute to the maintenance of the news boards and the figures of the memory path.
🏠 Accommodation on site
You will sleep in tents, with boys and girls separated, but for your daily needs you'll have the village community hall with an equipped kitchen (oven, dish-washer, etc...). The showers will be at the football stadium a kilometer away from your living area.
📍 About the location
Tracy le Mont is located at the heart of the Laigue forest, near Compiègne, Noyon and Pierrefonds and its fortified castle. It's a village of more than a thousand inhabitants, isolated in the forest. More info: www.tracy-le-mont.org
⚠️ Requirements
You'll have to walk a lot from a site to another, it's a workcamp for forest lovers. Foreigners belonging to the European Union must bring with them a personal EHIC (European Health Insurance Card), and everybody must, in any case, bring their insurance certificate. If health issues happen on the project, volunteers will have to pay for it, and then be reimbursed once back in their home country.
No need to bring gloves or tools: everything is provided by the municipality once you arrive! Think to take clothes for the manual work and closed-toe shoes like baskets. For the accommodation under tents, bring your sleeping bag and floor mat.
