This biodiversity forms the basis of all life, but nature is increasingly under threat. This camp is about the protection of meadow birds, some of which are threatened with extinction.

Дополнительная информация

You will work with experienced staff from various biological stations. We start right on the Dutch border. You will be there working and learning a lot about their work at the Biological Station and about the protection of meadow birds. You will help in a protected area and remove shrubs and birch so that the area is free for meadow birds again. You will cycle the 4 km to the reserve. Day 2 offers a circular walk and you get to know different birds and learn to identify them. Afterwards, the 2 days serve as a practical and creative day for a sustainable meadow bird conservation project. Then, you move on to the next project area. In the second project, your work is primarily practical. You will help to optimize the breeding sites of endangered meadow birds, which are mainly located near bodies of water. So you'll head off into shallow water and onto small gravel islands in your rubber boots to pull out willow seedlings and create gathering and resting places for animals.
