LO:The volunteers will work in a nature reserve which consists of two main lakes Upahl and Lenzen. The total size of this area is approximately 520ha. Consequently many different kinds of birds, plants and other animals can be found.
The volunteers will stay in Lohmen, a small village. Lohmen has about 850 inhabitants and was founded approximately around 12th century. For further information about Lohmen visit www.lohmen.de (only available in German).
W: This workcamp is for nature lovers as the work will be mainly outdoors. Around the natural reserve there is a lot of work. Since it’s not possible to use common agricultural techniques, vols have to do everything manually. Moreover all meadows around have to be cut and following the grass have to be put aside. Aim of this project is to help to protect this unique reserve through your contribution. In the meadow every spring grow rare flowers like orchids that need light and space that in case of not attending wouldn’t be available. Typical for the region are salt and orchid meadows. This project will be done in cooperation with environmental agency of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
