WORK:
Your team is needed for nature preservation tasks in the forest area maintained by the Oldendorf Forestry Office in the state of Lower Saxony. Your team will help cut free newly planted trees so that they have light and space to grow. Additionally, your team will redo trails and build or repair recreational sites (for example cultural gates and hunting facilities) and help with other tasks in the forest. Your group will work in rotating small teams, have the opportunity to explore about nature from the forester, and learn about nature preservation and the forest habitat.
