Help to improve the health and lifespan of trees and contribute to increasing biodiversity. You will work on an extensively used orchard with over 100 different fruit trees. These fruit orchards have characterised the landscape for centuries and are still used today for both fruit (apples and pears) and hay.
There will probably still be a few fruits hanging on the trees, so your task would be to harvest these first. Your main task then is to cut the trees. You will receive a detailed introduction, as there is a lot to consider. You will be equipped with tools and climb ladders to reach the uppermost parts of the tree.
What for? Trimming trees increases their lifespan and old trees are a perfect habitat for various animals. In general, orchard meadows play an outstanding role for biodiversity. They are among the most species-rich habitats in Central Europe.
You will work 5 days per week, 2 days off.

You will spend the night on a youth campsite about 50 metres from the orchard which is run by the local forestry administration. There will be showers and toilets in a house, as well as a barn where you can set up your lounge. If it pours with rain, you can also spend the night here if necessary. There is an outdoor gas cooker for cooking.
You don't need to bring a tent, but you do need a sleeping bag, a sleeping mat, warm, weatherproof clothing and sturdy shoes. If you love nature and enjoy simple accommodation, almost like a kind of survival camp, then this camp is perfect for you. In October the weather can be already very autumnal, which means it can rain, the temperatures can drop and the hours of sunshine definitively become fewer.
Your group of volunteers will be responsible for grocery shopping and cooking together. The food will be bought with the camp budget and everybody will take turns for cooking, washing the dishes and cleaning. In order to reduce our carbon footprint on the planet, we encourage volunteers to reduce meat and try more sustainable dishes.

The camp will take place approx. 10 km west of Schwäbisch Hall. The landscape in this area is dominated by forests and steep hills. Only small hamlets interrupt the nature, which makes it a perfect region for plenty of different species but also for hiking.
At your camp site there is a barbecue area, several hiking trails, a special cultural landscape trail and a swimming lake that can be reached on a short hike (and that you can use, of course, if it's still warm enough).
You can also reach several places by bus: There is a brewery that can be visited; the old town of Schwäbisch Hall has museums, shops and some traditional German historical buildings.

Bring a warm sleeping bag (pillow if needed), a sleeping mat, warm, weatherproof clothing and sturdy shoes.
Please be aware that ticks can be an issue when you spend a lot of time outdoors in natural areas in Germany - like in this camp. In our General Infosheet you will find suggestions on how you can protect yourself against them. You are also welcome to check whether a vaccination against the tick-borne disease TBE makes sense and is possible in your home country.
