BC Landschap De Liereman vzw
Oud-Turnhout, Belgium
Description
Do you love nature and being outdoors? Do you want to make a difference for nature and the local community? Than you are the volunteer we are looking for! The visitor center ‘Landschap De Liereman’ is located near Turnhout, a small city in the north of Belgium. The center is connected to ‘Landschap De Liereman’ one of the oldest recognized nature reserves in Belgium. We stand up for nature and biodiversity and strive to protect open space and the quality of the environment. You will participate in the daily activities of the visitor center and the reserve 'Landschap De Liereman.' This means helping in the bar and kitchen during the opening hours, working in nature, supporting our volunteers with nature conservation and restoration, occasional participation in the care of the semi-wild grazers (horses, ponies and Galloways), assisting with administrative tasks, cleaning, and maintenance, and developing educational activities for kids.
Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
You will stay in a safe accommodation in and around Turnhout. You will be co-housing with the other ESC volunteers. The accommodation has separate bedrooms and a shared bathroom, kitchen and living room. We offer you a bike to explore the area and reach the visitor center. The bike will also be your main means of transport. You receive pocket money and a food allowance. We also offer lunch posibilities in the visitor center. Don’t worry about travel expenses for the trip. Everything is covered.
Training during the activity
You will receive on-the-job training from our staff and volunteers. You will be involved in various tasks and projects but also take initiative. The volunteering project also gives you the opportunity to join an on-arrival and mid-term training, organized by the national agency.
