LOCATION: Lohmen is a village between Guestrow and Goldberg. The region is famous for its lakes and forests. Lohmen is surrounded by a natural park.

Lohmen has about 850 inhabitants and was founded approximately around the 12th century.

WORK: This work camp is for nature lovers, since the work will be mainly outdoors. There is a lot of work around the natural reserve “Upahl-Lenzen”. Since it’s not possible to use common agricultural techniques, volunteers have to do everything manually. Moreover, every meadow around has to be cut and the grass have to be put aside. The aim of this project is to help to protect this unique reserve through your contribution. This project will be done in cooperation with environmental agency of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania
