Work Description
In both National Park Gesäuse & Nature Park Styrian Eisenwurzen we will remove invasive plants to prevent irreversible anthropogenic effects on sensitive ecosystems. We will also have time to get to know each other and enjoy the summer in the mountains.

Study Theme
You will gather knowledge of the region of the National Park Gesäuse & Nature Park Styrian Eisenwurzen and its flora and fauna. Furthermore, you will gain hands-on experience in managing invasive plant species and in maintaining the since generations human-shaped natural landscapes of alpine meadows.

We will have 14 activity days, 2 days off in between and the arrival and departure day. The work will be physical and in steep terrain. Therefore, some basic fitness as well as solid ankle-high hiking boots are required.

Accommodation And Food
You will be staying at two different locations. First week you will be situated in the pension Ödsteinblick, kind of a mountain refuge at the Johnsbach. You should bring a sleeping liner. There will be no supermarket or shopping facility around. You have to bring everything what you need for the first week with you. After one week you will be transported by a local shuttle to the Naturpark Almmauer, a comfortable, well equipped hut (dormitory, kitchen, bathroom, WiFi) located at Naturpark Eisenwurzen. Regular public transport is available. The next supermarket is within walking distance.

Free Time Possibilities
The beautiful region of Gesäuse and Eisenwurzen offers a lot of possibilities for free-time activities. You can learn something about the history of the region, go hiking or swim in the Enns, the river next to the campsite.

Our activities in our leisure time depend also on you. Bring some games, playing cards, music instruments, creativity and funny ideas!
