Description of the partner organizing/hosting the project:

This will be the 16th time that the community of Lauterbach and the local Landscape Development Association host a workcamp. They appreciate the contributions of international volunteers and are very excited to welcome support for different environmental construction tasks in protected natural area! Besides the obvious valuable help from the workcamp group, they are also very happy to share their knowledge about forest preservation to foreign volunteers. By volunteering in this project, you are actively protecting nature and biodiversity (UN SDG 15).

Description of work:

Help the community of Lauterbach in preserving its beautiful forest and wildlife-rich open land! Lauterbach has many nature conservation areas to offer and your support is needed for various tasks. During this workcamp, you will work in the forest and open land, helping the municipality maintain wet meadow; an important habitat for rare species of flora and fauna. This involves removing mown material from the meadow by hand. The municipality is also responsible of the preservation of a hiking trail, so additionally, you may also assist in sanding, cutting or paving paths, renewing steps and painting hiking trail bridges.

Be prepared for hard physical work! Due to working in swampy (boggy) and steep areas, sturdy boots are required for effective work! The work will be led by a professional instructor, so no previous experience is needed. You will work 30 hours per week, between 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. from
Monday to Friday with a lunchbreak.

Description of location and leisure:

Lauterbach is a village with 3000 inhabitants located on the edge of the Black Forest nature park, surrounded by greenery and breath-taking landscapes right at your doorstep! The village has so many scenic viewpoints to enjoy the beauty of the countryside. You will have many possibilities for hiking and immersing yourself in nature. In your free time, you can also visit the popular nearby cities like Rottweil, Schramberg or the student city of Freiburg.
