In mid-November we are looking for volunteers to maintain a variety of hedges. Hedges are important structural elements. They contribute significantly to the preservation of biodiversity, to an attractive landscape and they protect the soil from erosion. On November 8th, we would like your help to carry out professional, ecological hedge care. After an introduction to the basics of hedge care and valuable plant species, we will lend a hand ourselves. Help preserve this valuable habitat for many birds and insects!
After a theoretical introduction to the topic (pruning, plants, ecology), we will spend the day doing basic hedge care. Of course, there will be smaller breaks. Please bring your own food and remember to drink enough
