Kuruluş
The ijgd has been organising volunteer service programmes since 1949. We are an independent, non-profit association for international youth work, a recognised independent youth welfare organisation, and one of the largest and oldest workcamp organisations in Germany. Each year, we assist around 5,000 young people into volunteer work in Germany and abroad. We give them the opportunity to be creative, act in solidarity, take responsibility for themselves, and discover their own true potential and strengths. Our principles Ecological learning, voluntary contribution, self-organisation, social development, intercultural learning, gender equality, anti-racism/anti-discrimination and political education.

İş Tanımı
This workcamp focuses on preserving the habitats of endangered species:
You will be directly helping bats, wild bees and wolves, and at the end of each day you will see what you have achieved for nature with your own hands.
Your work will be as varied as nature itself: a particular highlight is the restoration of an old coal bunker in Friedeholz, which we are converting into a safe winter home for bats. You will become a helper for the smallest creatures when we create flowering beds for wild bees and build new insect hotels. At the same time, you will search for clues like a real researcher: you will map the impressive nests of the large forest ant in Hülsenberg and record giant trees over 200 years old that serve as important cavity trees. You will maintain valuable biotopes such as hedges, ponds, an orchard meadow and the unique Syker Wolfsschlucht gorge. Your area of operation is nature itself – from the forests in Friedeholz to Westermark and Hachetal.
You will also get involved in manual work, building natural seating from wood to guide visitors through nature in an environmentally friendly way.
With every step you take, you actively contribute to preserving biodiversity and help to conserve this unique landscape for future generations.
You will be guided by staff from the local forestry office and volunteer members of NABU Syke und Umland e.V. In addition to the practical work, you will learn the secrets of sustainable forestry on exciting excursions and find out a lot about the local flora and fauna and the protection of nature, the environment and endangered habitats.
Are you in? If you feel like getting involved in nature conservation, making friends for life and having an unforgettable time, then don't hesitate to sign up! Places are limited.

We would like to invite you to travel as environmentally friendly as possible. If you have the option to go by train, bus, carsharing or bicycle that can be a great first step for you to become a climate steward.
