Descripción:
The work will involve mainly cleaning up/ recovering of the hydro power station canal and the banks of Koesti creek. This means pretty hard physical work like removing mud, stones, branches of trees, etc. Also there may be clearing up of the green areas around the mill and occasionally simple conservation jobs in the building (e.g. cleaning the walls before painting). Volunteers will be working 7-8 hours per day 5 days a week under the supervision of local technical leader.
The accommodation facilities will be quite simple: you will stay in the mill house in camp beds. Please bring your own sleeping bag. Please note that the shower is a primitive outdoors solar shower, and there is dry toilet only. But you will have a good chance to try Estonian sauna on weekend. Simple but healthy traditional local food will be prepared by the hosts, volunteers will be asked to help cleaning and washing up. Possibility of making own food is limited.
The project is located at the border of the Town of Viljandi, which is situated in South Estonia on Sakala Upland. Town of Viljandi with its 20,000 inhabitants is the centre of the county. As a culture town it is well known for its valued Culture Academy, Ugala Drama Theatre and the famous international Folk Music Festival (www.folk.ee) held yearly at the end of July. Viljandi lies 160 km from Tallinn, 98 km from Parnu and 80 km from Tartu. More information about Viljandi on www.viljandi.ee/?id=506 and www.viljandimaa.ee/turismiinfo/?lg=engLEISUREThere are a lot of good possibilities for leisure time activities as camp will take place in the town where one can find attractions for all tastes: sightseeing and museums, festivals (including world famous Viljandi Folkhttp://www.folk.ee/festival/2012/en/viljandi-folk-music-festival ), concerts, live music, pubs, etc. You can also spend time at Viljandi Lake and go swimming or simply stay at the mill having bonfire, barbeque and sauna with locals.
This is a classic workcamp with the real physical work i please be ready for it. This camp may not be suitable for volunteers allergic to different plants or hay. Please note rather simple washing facilities in this camp. You have to bring your sleeping bag, working clothes and rubber boots.
