The programme includes excursions and events to get to know the stands of Rhineland-Palatinate, general forestry in Germany, methods and aims of woodland management illustrated by chosen examples, natural forestry methods and new cultivation models, geology, natural conservation in Germany, environmental education and public relations work. Practical Forestry work will include cultivation, managing the regeneration of nature sites, care of young trees, pruning and thinning of trees, development of reserves, marking out what forest land needs to be thinned, construction of recreational facilities, planning and work in nature reserves in the local forest districts.
For the duration of the work camp, each participant will receive a total of up to € 350 pocket money. In addition it is possible to apply for financial assistance at the workcamp-partner UEF.
