BASE NATURE VERCORS

CODE: JR26/207

Work
The association is proposing a project. This project aims at water management at Base Nature Vercors, notably the reuse of greywater through filtration and spreading it to water small fruits. In addition to the environmental action, this initiative involves young people in an international solidarity effort in collaboration with the association CAPTE, a Senegalese organization. You can find the schedule and the achievements of previous projects on the association s website: https://basenaturevercors.org/realisations/

Accomodation and food
You will be accommodated in tents on the site of la Grange aux loups and you will have sanitary facilities and showers on site. An outdoor kitchen and a living space will also be at your disposal. To facilitate relations within the group, cell phones, by mutual agreement, will only be available for one hour per day (usually at shower time).With the help of your counselors, you will actively participate in the organization of daily life: preparation of meals, washing up, tidying up, cleaning, maintenance of the garden. As much as possible, the meals will be prepared with local and organic products corresponding to the particular attention paid by the Base Nature Vercors association to the management of resources and waste on the site and to the origin of the food. From this point of view, you will certainly reduce your consumption of meat and thus your impact on the planet. Lovers of outdoor life, this workcamp is made for you
