Nature conservation and forest management in a great environment as well as relaxation on the Baltic Sea beach!
You can experience both at this camp in the north of Germany. You will work alongside volunteers from all over the world in the forests and nature reserves surrounding the youth forest centre where you will be staying.
Your tasks will include the construction of self-fertilizing raised beds, the repair of fences, clearing young forest stands, cutting back invasive late-flowering bird cherry, building and erecting wooden fences to protect young trees from game browsing, building raised hides, clearing paths and dismantling old wire fences in the forest. Some of the work can be very strenuous and monotonous. (Note: The actual work to be carried out may differ from that described here).
During the work you will also learn a lot about the protection of the forest and rare habitats in theory and practice. You will also learn how nature and landscape conservation areas can be carefully developed for tourism so that people can make better and more informative use of the beautiful natural environment.
In the first week you will work from Monday to Friday and in the second week from Monday to Thursday.

The Hartenholm youth forest centre is located in the middle of the forest and has beautiful surroundings. The outdoor area includes high seats for game watching, a football pitch, a volleyball court, a barbecue area and a charcoal burner's hut. There is also a table tennis table and table football. At the weekend, trips to one of the wonderful Baltic Sea beaches such as Travemünde or Timmendorfer Strand and to the Hanseatic city of Hamburg are well worthwhile.

The Jugendwaldheim Hartenholm des Landesforsten Schleswig-Holstein (Forest Youth Hostel of Hartenholm of the Schleswig-Holstein State Forests) offers a one or two-week nature and adventure education programme (with overnight stay) for school classes from year 7. In the mornings, the pupils work together with pedagogically trained foresters in the forest and learn how the sustainable management of forests brings ecological, economic and social benefits for the environment and people. In the afternoons, survival courses, team workshops and exciting educational tours through the forest are offered.
