Act together for nature 2024

Activity description

Within the ESC volunteer program, we are looking for 25 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 alien, invasive plant species in a nature reserve, 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, giving them 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 Bodrogolasi coast, with a shared bathroom and kitchen, and internet access for 3 weeks. They will be accommodated in Hajdúböszörmény 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. Knowledge of swimming is an advantage.
