Travail

Come to our camp if you feel that… Natural resources must be cared for, protected and used in a responsible and rational way. In this field you will be able to get started on a project to create an ecosystem designed for the production of food and other raw materials, where perennial plants such as trees, shrubs, herbaceous plants and climbing plants interact with garden species. This project will be developed in the area around the “Villa Castora” hostel, located in a privileged enclave on the way to the Roman Road in the Sierra de Guadarrama. Why participate in our field? In the field “Biological Balances in the Villa Castora Youth Hostel”, volunteers will be able to design, using species such as trees, bushes, etc., an ecologically sustainable space in the surroundings of the “Villa Castora” youth hostel, imitating a natural forest in terms of its diversity of structure and functions. In addition, the construction of an insect hotel will encourage the appearance of small pollinators that will help increase the biodiversity of the space. For 15 days, you will be able to enjoy a special vacation, meeting people from other regions and countries. Tasks specific to the field of volunteering  Analysis of areas to regenerate damaged ecosystems and prepare the edible forest, cultivating shrubs, trees, herbaceous plants and climbers.  Design, assembly and installation of information panels on biodiversity spaces: vegetable garden, edible forest and insect hotel.  Installing an irrigation system on planted shrubs and trees.  Building an insect hotel: placing the boards.  Review and development of spaces to promote biodiversity
