You will take part in various maintenance and restoration works on the communal paths linking several hamlets of Cause-de-Clérans: clearing vegetation, cleaning pathways, small landscaping works, securing passages, maintaining surrounding areas and enhancing the natural rural heritage. This collective work will help reopen some paths that are currently difficult to access and encourage walking and the discovery of the territory once again.
Activities will include learning moments about the techniques used, collective organisation of the workcamp, and awareness raising about the environment and rural heritage.
Accomodation and food
