SJESC10 - A Greenhouse Dome for the Cévennes’ Garden
SOLIDARITES JEUNESSES MCP
SOLIDARITES JEUNESSES RESEAU D'ENTRAIDE VOLONTAIRE
PONT DE MONTVERT - SUD MONT LOZERE, France
Description
The project will take place at the permanent REV site, a former summer camp situated at an altitude of 1,200 meters. The building is located at the foot of Mount Lozère in the heart of the Cévennes National Park. The REV association moved there in the spring of 2022 and aims to turn it into a place to welcome visitors, exchange ideas, and meet new people. To continue improving the garden started in 2025, you will build a wooden greenhouse dome for year-round cultivation. This will contribute to transforming the site into a nourishing and supportive space where international volunteers, project volunteers, visitors, and residents can meet.
Accommodation, food and transport arrangements
: The workcamp is in a very remote area, where you will be accommodated in collective tents on the REV site (remember to bring a warm sleeping bag). You will have access to sanitary facilities close to the camp. If weather conditions deteriorate, a shelter a few meters away will be available. On the project, it is important to note that you will have two meat meals per week. Meals will be provided by the association and prepared by the participants, who will take turns forming cooking teams. Bring your best recipes!
Training during the activity
You will be involved in constructing a wooden geodesic dome that will serve as a greenhouse for the community garden run by the association. This dome’s shape offers several advantages: it uses less material than a rectangular structure to cover the same area, it is wind-resistant (common at high altitudes), it captures light from all angles, and it prevents snow from accumulating on the roof. A technical supervisor will share their knowledge of wooden construction and guide you through building this structure during dedicated work sessions (25 hours per week).
