Act Together for Nature 2025
Zöld Kör - Föld Barátai Magyarország tagja
Bodrogolaszi, Hungary
Description
Within the ESC volunteer program, we are looking for 15 young people for a short period of 1 month, who will join the nature conservation programs of our association to maintain educational trails and nature conservation areas, such as o reclamation of foreign, invasive plant species in a nature reserve (you will learn to use different tools against this problem), o elimination of illegal landfills and ongoing clean-up at Bodrog o maintenance of bird and mammal protection equipment (bird nests, nesting boxes, etc.). These activities are carried out for 2 weeks along the Bodrog and for 1 week in Hajdúság. For the remaining 1 week, they will be involved in the clean-up of the Hungarian section of the Bodrog River, where we will try to collect the waste floating on the river. Volunteers work 5 days a week, giving them an average of 6 hours a day and two days off a week. Volunteers are provided with a pocket money of 6 EUR per person per day.
Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
The volunteers will be staying in a youth hostel on the fabulous coast of Bodrogolaszi, with a shared bathroom and kitchen, and internet access for 3 weeks. They will be accommodated in Füzérradvány for a few days, also in a youth hostel, in rooms with 2-4 beds. We provide meals 4 times a day, of which min. 1 hot meal. We prefer green travel to and from Hungary. We provide bicycles for local transport.
Training during the activity
The volunteers get to know the natural values, flora and fauna as well as cultural values of the area and gain work experience. They join the Hungarian nature conservation movement and can build relationships with young people with similar interests. We provide opportunities for language learning.
Participant profile
Young people who through their studies or interests are committed to protecting nature and the environment, who are not deterred from doing physical work and are able to work well in a team and alone as well. Knowledge of swimming and bicycling are advantages. We are looking for young people, who are open to new cultures and aren't afraid of challanges.
