  • Help

    Help

    We are looking for people who help us to save the old tree population. A lot of manual work has to be done, as there are some slopes. A lot of landscape maintenance is needed. Then we have to create areas for our permaculture project, as well as the gentle ecological restoration of our old farmhouse. Our lake needs care as the water level varies throughout the year and the vegetation in the shore zone must be regulated. We are happy for everyone who want to help us
