Descripción:
You already understand that there is something to do when you hear their names: prevent the witch’s claw (an invasive plant) from spreading and save the lake and its diversity. The only way known and effective is to remove them by hand. You will support the syndicate RIVAGE that is one of the organizations working for the protection of this particular biotope and that welcomes international volunteers for the fourth time.
the work will consist in removing invasive plants and carrying them off to stop them grow again and choke all the other vegetation. The concerned area is between the sea and the lake, on sandy soil. The syndicate is also running the “Lake’s House” with an exhibition. There will be visits and information meetings for participants in order to discover and be sensitized for this exceptional environment.
in tents on a municipality camp site. Facilities and a kitchen-tente are available.
Location: Leucate is situated at 40km from Prepignan and 40 km from Narbonne, very close to the sea.
Leisure activities: through the work, but also thanks to the contact with the local population and a large number of associations implicated in the project, the group of volunteers will have many opportunities to meet people, present their work and discover local life and the region (hikes at the seaside, local patrimony, oyster farm…). And, the beach is only a few minutes walk!
