This project is built around a network of local partners involved in nature conservation, ecology and/or the environmental transition. During their two-week stay, volunteers will discover different initiatives carried out in and around Marche-en-Famenne and will contribute actively to their implementation.
They may, for example:
help fight invasive species along a river or contribute to the maintenance of a wetland area;
maintain or restore areas dedicated to biodiversity, for example by enhancing ecological corridors;
take part in maintaining the Compagnons Bâtisseurs Garden or a partner organisation’s garden, including autumn planting and preparing the garden for winter;
...
These activities will help volunteers understand how simple, practical actions can contribute to broader environmental challenges: supporting biodiversity, protecting soil and water, improving landscapes and strengthening the resilience of natural environments in the face of environmental changes.
Throughout the different activities, volunteers will also discover local organisations, their projects and the ways in which they contribute to their territory. They will develop practical skills and learn to better observe their environment, use tools, work as a team and take initiative.
