İş Tanımı
Volunteers will work on natural methods of rhododendron control in remote mountain areas of the park such as dead-heading rhododendrons, stem treating of mature plants with small tools, the picking of seedlings and cutting of saplings using secateurs. The work may include using handheld tools such as loppers and hatchets, which you will receive training on how to use safely at the start of the project. In addition, volunteers will help to plant native trees, construct dead hedges using dead rhododendrons, and in other habitat conservation by pulling up seedlings, for example, as well as assisting with visitor awareness in the National Park
Konaklama ve Yemek
Accommodation will be in a dormitory style hostel in the park, with all modern appliances. Volunteers will cook for themselves on a rota basis and will bring a packed lunch to their worksite each day. Please note there is no wifi or mobile phone signal at the hostel and phone signal in the park is limited. Wi-fi is available approx. 15 mins walk from the hostel.
Konum ve Serbest Zaman
Notlar
The midge fly is widespread in the park as well as ticks so volunteers must be prepared to use a strong insect repellent and wear a protective net when working. The park will provide nets, gloves and rubber boots. Volunteers are also required to wear long sleeves and trousers while working.
