We look forward to seeing you! What kind of work is involved? - The area is home to protected plant species that are directly threatened by non-native (alien) and invasive plants.

These must be removed or controlled using hand tools. Additionally, you can expect to help gather mown hay/vegetation.

Further information about the area

Who are we looking for? - Everyone who wants to help, especially residents of the district. All age groups are welcome, but those under 14 must participate with a guardian (parent, teacher). Students participating in school community service will be supervised by volunteers from the Nature Conservation Civil Guard, but of course, teachers or family members may also join them.

Do I need to bring any work or safety equipment, or is it recommended? - We recommend using your own work gloves, but organizers can provide them in limited quantities. The necessary tools for the work will be provided by FŐKERT, FÖRI, and MME. We recommend wearing clothing appropriate for the weather, comfortable closed-toe shoes, and using tick repellent.
