Water for Our Land

The work will mainly consist of manual activities in nature. You will manually dig holes to make water pools, work in the forest (cleaning paths and roads for better access), clean the surroundings of a pond or a riverbed. You will also help on a local biofarm. The new school year will start at the beginning of September, so you will have a chance to meet local school children and prepare some presentations and activities about your country and culture. Bring something special from home which could be suitable for such an activity (games, music, pictures, etc.). Study part: There are some field trips planned for volunteers to get to know the protected landscape area Broumovsko, especially the rock towns but also some Baroque buildings. There will be a possibility to have a discussion with a local ecologist about water retention, with an ornithologist, with a historian or with organic farmers about various topics. There will also be an international food evening to enhance the interaction of the volunteers with the local community so please bring with you your favourite national recipes (and possibly some specific ingredients that might not be available locally).
