Watering, cutting, protecting: Plant care in a nature reserve north of Berlin

In northern Berlin, there is an ecologically valuable nature reserve, where young trees grow and native plant and animal species are protected. Regular care is crucial to keep the area healthy — especially during the summer months when Water scarcity and invasive species threaten vegetation. With your efforts, you are actively helping to ensure local natural diversity and give young trees a real future.

Together as a team, you will take on specific tasks in practical nature conservation work:

• Watering tree seedlingsto support the growth of young trees
• Pruning back invasive plant species, displace native vegetation
• Maintaining the nature reserve, e.g. removal of garbage, exposure of growth zones, inspection of damage

Your work is carried out under the guidance of specialists or experienced volunteers from the fields of environmental and species protection. The day starts together at the meeting point at 10 o'clock, a lunch break is planned around 11:30 and you will finish the mission at 1 pm at the latest.
