The bison enclosure in Springe is one of the most popular destinations in the Hanover region. The main purpose of the wildlife park is to ensure the survival of endangered species, such as bison, through breeding programmes. The Forest Education Centre runs sustainable educational courses for school classes of all ages there. The programme ranges from workshops, animal observation, learning stations, exploration tours, activity days and project weeks to holiday pass activities and children's birthday parties. Your group supports the staff of the Education Centre in various environmental and nature conservation activities on the premises. The main task is to remove fast-growing plants such as ivy and blackberries, which overgrow everything. This creates light and space for more plant diversity. You will help to remove poisonous plants such as belladonna and clear ivy and blackberry vines from part of the historic Saupark wall, which at 16.3 km is the longest architectural monument in Lower Saxony. Climate change is also clearly noticeable in the bison enclosure. To prevent the soil from drying out too much, ‘wood islands’ made of dead branches are being created under the large trees. You will also be supporting the wildlife park team with this task.
