IBG (Internationale Begegnung in Gemeinschaftsdiensten)
Kuruluş
IBG Workcamps, founded in 1965, engages increasingly in climate protection through forest and peatland projects. Through our trainings, seminars, and Workcamps we strive to encourage young people from all over the world to become active in climate- and nature protection themselves. This camp is organized by IBG in cooperation with the Forestry Baden-Wurttemberg.
İş Tanımı
Help the community of Lauterbach preserve their beautiful forests and open spaces for both wildlife and tourists! Work includes clearing wet meadows to maintain habitats for many wild species, maintaining a hiking trail by sanding or cutting paths, and renewing hiking trail bridges and signs.
Please note: You are going to be outside during all working hours and the work may be physically hard. You will also get wet and muddy for sure! Please bring hiking boots, extra socks to change during the day, a waterproof jacket, and comfy working clothes.
Konaklama ve Yemek
You stay at the nice community house in the middle of the forest, called ‘’Mosenmättle Guest House’’. You’ll find sanitary facilities, showers, a common room with sofas and tables, and a spacious well equipped kitchen. You sleep in 4 multi bed rooms (with bunkbeds). As the house is located in a very rural area, the internet access and mobile phone coverage will most probably be limited. Just be prepared to spend two wonderful, adventurous weeks away from your busy and usual life.
The entire group does grocery shopping, cooking, and cleaning together. Food will be bought with the camp budget. To minimize our carbon footprint on the planet, we encourage volunteers to reduce meat and try more sustainable meals.
Konum ve Serbest Zaman
Lauterbach is situated in the heart of the Black Forest National Park in south-west Germany, close to the towns of Schramberg and Rottweil. You will have many possibilities to hike and experience nature first hand. Just step out the door and find yourself surrounded by beautiful landscapes!
Notlar
Please be aware that ticks can be an issue after spending a lot of time outdoors. In our General Info Sheet you will find suggestions on how you can protect yourself against them. Consider to check whether a vaccination against the tick-borne disease TBE makes sense and is possible in your home country.
This camp supports the International Year of Volunteers for Sustainable Development by the United Nations and highlights our contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals defined for Climate Action (13) and Life on Land (15).
