Ecological NABU Station Oste-Region (German: Ökologischen NABU-Station Oste-Region)
The Ecological NABU- Station Oste Region is an institution of NABU Lower Saxony. The station provides local support to the Rotenburg and Stade districts in their management of protected areas. Its core tasks are primarily the recording of animal and plant species, the initiation, planning, implementation and success monitoring of maintenance and development measures, as well as the planning and implementation of species protection measures.
The station not only works closely with the nature conservation authorities, but also with the Office for Nature Conservation and Landscape Management of the Rotenburg and Stade districts and the NABU Bremervörde-Zeven and Stade district groups to coordinate and initiate necessary measures.
İş Tanımı
Would you like to make an important contribution to the conservation of moors and heaths and their animals and plants? Then this workcamp in the beautiful countryside of northern Germany between Bremen and Hamburg is the right place for you. You will work with your workcamp group in seven protected areas. In the fauna-flora-habitat areas (FFH - habitat of animals and plants protected under EU law) and nature reserves (NSG) “Bullensee und Hemelsmoor”, “Hohes Moor”, “Großes Moor” and “Feerner Moor”, you will remove sawn-off trees and shrubs from former peat-cutting areas to create habitats for endangered and peat-relevant plant species such as Bult peat moss, cranberry and smooth snake. In the landscape conservation area (LSG) "Stellingsmoor", your group will clear sensitive moor areas in order to preserve moor development and the habitat for the protected smooth snake. In the “Swatte Flag” nature reserve (NSG) you will clear a protected shallow water body for dragonflies and check bat boxes in the “Beverner Wald” nature reserve.
All activities are professionally supervised by the staff and volunteers of the NABU Ecological Station Oste-Region. In addition to the practical work, you will learn a lot about nature conservation and environmental protection in general as well as the natural habitat of moors and heaths and their protection in particular from the staff and volunteers. You will learn a lot about the local flora and fauna, their relevance for the ecosystem and the various measures to protect them.
Cooperation partners for this work camp are the Office for Nature Conservation and Landscape Management of the Rotenburg and Stade districts and the NABU Bremervörde-Zeven and Stade district groups.
