Just like during the workcamp that took place before this one we want to continue our important work supporting our local wild life and nature.
On the grounds of the Environmental Education Center Three Oaks live people and pets - and almost always many guests: children, families, seminar groups.
Currently, we also want to reintroduce wild honey bees, which originally lived in caves in old trees, to our nature park. For this purpose we are building caves in tree trunk pieces. You will help us with this.
In addition, we want to build a 3-4m high platform on a tree together with you, so that we can attach the bee cave and visit and care for the bees. This ancient art of beekeeping is called Zeidlerei.
The nature park Märkische Schweiz 40 km east of Berlin offers its unique natural and cultural landscape and is also the backdrop for our project in and around the environmental education center "Drei Eichen" (three oaks). Through the cooperation with the nature park administration, we will not only get to know the nature park and its surroundings together, but also actively help to shape it. We offer this workcamp because it is fun to have young people from all over the world with us and because we simply need many hands for some work!
At different locations in the nature park Märkische Schweiz we will help on some days to perform various landscape maintenance work in different natural areas. The goal is to protect or promote either dry or wet sites, their soil and the native plants that grow there. Historically, these sites were created and maintained through a lot of manual labour - mowing adapted to the season and grazing by sheep and goats. Today, we are helping to do just that. There are many lakes that also invite a refreshing swim after work!
All work, whether in landscape maintenance, handicraft or creative-design, takes place outdoors.
You will be sleeping in 4-bed rooms in the main building of a child and youth camping site.
You will cook and go food shopping for yourself. Money for grocery shopping will be provided. Please state any intolerances during registration.
For activities in between, Drei Eichen with its terrain offers many opportunities to learn about plants and animals, nature conservation and alternative ways of life and to actively participate.
There are many great options for spending your free time. Among them are GPS tour(s) in the nature park, guided hikes on biodiversity, a visit to the bat museum, trips to surrounding lakes, going to the movies, visiting the pub "lokal." in Buckow, making a campfire; going to an artificial climbing forest or doing a canoe tour in the area. Those who long for more urban hustle and bustle on the weekend can also take a day trip to Berlin or even go to Poland, which is not that far away.
We plan together on site, depending on the current weather conditions, among other things, on which days we do what work and on which days we take off.
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.
