SDA 405 New Virgin Forest II 04/09 – 17/09 ENVI Vols: 14+2 AGE: 18+
Project: The project is organized in cooperation with the local NGO Cmelak - Friends of Nature Society, whose activities are focused on the support of a sustainable way of life, practical nature protection and environmental education. The goal of their projects is to restore the natural woods on specific pieces of land and to save endangered tree species. The workcamp takes place on one of those pieces of land in a mountainous area at the foot of the Jizerske Mountains, which are situated in the North of Bohemia, close to the Polish border.
Work: The main aim of the project is to support the NGO Cmelak with its manual work outdoors in the mountainous area. The volunteers will plant seedlings of trees and clean branches after cutting down trees in the area, so that a new and mixed forest can grow, which closely resembles the natural state of a forest. According to the currant needs this work could be replaced by similar tasks (help with growing the seedlings) in a tree nursery. This project is designed for people who are willing and able to do hard manual work and who are prepared to work outdoors in all types of weather (in the mountains it will be cold, rainy and windy). Water-proof clothes and very good working boots are necessary.
Leisure time: You can go hiking in the beautiful surrounding landscape and take trips to Liberec (a town that offers many cultural events).
Study part: Discussions with pupils from a high-school in Liberec, visit the seat of the NGO Cmelak, excursions to the forests owned by the organization.
Accommodation/Food: The volunteers will sleep in beds in a basic accommodation at the outskirts of Liberec. A shower with hot water and toilets will be provided. The group will prepare the meals on their own. Bring a sleeping bag, a sleeping mat and slippers with you!
Location: Outskirts of Liberec, near the Jizerske mountains in the north of Bohemia.
