Campo di volontariato
Animal and plant protection in northern German moor and heathland areas
Badenstedt (Zeven), GERMANIA
Attività principali
You will work with your workcamp group in seven protected areas. In the Fauna-Flora Habitat areas (FFH – habitats of animals and plants protected under EU law) and nature reserves (NSG) "Bullensee and Hemelsmoor", "Hohes Moor", "Großes and Weißes Moor", "Huvenhoopsmoor", you will remove felled trees from former peat cutting areas and heathland to create habitat for endangered and moor-relevant plant species such as sphagnum moss, cranberry and smooth snake.
In the Stellingsmoor landscape conservation area (LSG), your group will clear sensitive moorland areas to preserve the moorland development and habitat for the protected smooth snake. In the Bevern Forest nature reserve, you will check bat boxes.
All activities are professionally supervised by the staff and volunteers of the NABU Ecological Station Oste-Region. In addition to the practical work, you will learn a lot about nature conservation and environmental protection in general as well as the natural habitat of moors and heaths and their protection in particular from the staff and volunteers. You will learn a lot about the local flora and fauna, their relevance for the ecosystem and the various measures to protect them.
The cooperation partners for this work camp are the nature conservation authorities of the districts of Rotenburg (Wümme) and Stade, as well as the NABU groups Bremervörde-Zeven and Stade.

Organizzatore
Ecological NABU Station Oste-Region (German: Ökologischen NABU-Station Oste-Region)
The Ecological NABU- Station Oste Region is an institution of NABU Lower Saxony. The station provides local support to the Rotenburg and Stade districts in their management of protected areas. Its core tasks are primarily the recording of animal and plant species, the initiation, planning, implementation and success monitoring of maintenance and development measures, as well as the planning and implementation of species protection measures.
The station not only works closely with the nature conservation authorities, but also with the NABU Bremervörde-Zeven and Stade district groups to coordinate and initiate necessary measures.
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
