Discover Nature conservation Meinweg 1
STICHTING INTERNATIONALE WERKKAMPEN
Wegberg, Duitsland
Beschrijving
National Park De Meinweg is a nature area of about 1,800 hectares in Limburg, the Netherlands, uniquely surrounded by Germany on three sides. Its name comes from an old Celtic word meaning "common land," reflecting its history of shared use by Dutch and German villages. The park features a rare terraced landscape formed by ancient earth movements, making it a unique location to work with nature and learn about conservation. During the project, volunteers work as forest rangers in the park, helping to protect its open landscapes and heathland. These areas need regular care so plants and animals can thrive. Tasks include removing unwanted plants by hand, careful work that cannot be done by machines. Volunteers will also help restore a small site hut and support basic animal care. All tasks are done together as a team, guided by professionals.
