In cooperation with the organisation “Biologische Station im Kreis Wesel”, you will work on the Projekt „Life Wiesenvögel NRW“. This project aims to save rare meadow birds in North Rhine-Westphalia from exstinction. To achieve this, we must, among other things, foster insects and other small animals because these serve as food for the birds. Many insects, in turn, benefit from flowering plants. That is why one of your tasks will be to sow certain seed mixtures in bird breeding sites. The seeds will be provided. (please do not bring any! They will likely be the wrong kind.)
Nature conservation also involves educating (or even just interesting) people in these topics. Sometimes this takes more than words. Your second field of work will therefore be artistic. You will be creating giveaways about meadow bird conservation which can then be used to awaken enthusiasm for the topic among the general public. Creativity and crafts(wo)manship will be necessary here. The raw materials will be provided.
