Description

Hi, I'm Andreas,
I am very interested in trees and forests. That's why I once studied forestry, although the adventure of the forest ecosystem interested me more than the pure management of forests. That's why I focused my career largely on tree care and nature education. With my project Forest Compass - Around the World with Trees, I am fulfilling my dream of discovering forests and trees on our wonderful earth. I am also very interested in the stories of people and their connection to trees. My dog ​​Cleo accompanies me on this trip. We are both peaceful and quiet fellows. We like the community and are curious and open-minded. I also want to learn from people and their life projects. Therefore, Workaway is a great opportunity for me to use my skills and get involved with new things.

Quelles sont vos compétences ?

My three siblings and I grew up in my parents' craft business, a small metalworking shop. I trained as an electronics technician when I was 16. After that I completed community service with the Red Cross in care for the elderly and disabled. After I got my high school diploma, I went to Australia and New Zealand for a year and did some WWOOFing there, a great experience.
I then decided to study forestry. I am interested in protecting forests and trees but also in how forests can be used sustainably and extensively. I started climbing trees during my studies and have been a professional arborist for 18 years. Another professional field is nature education. As project manager, I was able to set up a forest education facility for a Caritas children's village (rabenmoosalm.de). There I was able to inspire people about nature as a certified forest educator for 12 years. For me it was an intensive learning place, remote and in the middle of a fascinating natural area in the Alps.
I founded my life project Waldkompass (waldkompass.de) 11 years ago. This is about orientation towards sustainable social development in the context of nature education. I also deal with survival techniques and life in and from nature. With my current project "Forest compass - with trees around the world" (waldkompass.de) I would like to deal even more intensively with trees and forests, especially as cultural assets for us humans.
