The English-speaking Section of natur&ëmwelt and Bee Together are organising an event entitled "Get Fit by Nature in the Orchard" on Saturday, 28 February 2015 from 10:00 to 15:00.
Let's get fit ... and what better way to get fit than by working for the benefit of nature and the environment.
Bee Together is joining the nature association, natur&ëmwelt English-speaking Section and the Junglinster Section, at their 'Fit by Nature' event: Hedges, dry grasslands and orchard around Junglinster. The orchard will provide a welcome source of nectar and pollen to pollinators, particularly in spring.
Help them to preserve one of the most diverse habitats in Luxembourg, with countless species of orchids, butterflies and threatened bird species.
As they will be working with other sections, they will organise themselves based on language and what they would like to do: clearing the land or pruning the fruit trees.
An explanation of the importance of the site, the dry grasslands project, and the site for flora and fauna will be given in the morning.
They need at least 10 people to help restore a dry grassland site which is currently being invaded by shrubs and trees. Families with children of 10 years or older are welcome. As there will be fires at the site, the organisers ask parents to supervise their children. Dogs are also welcome if supervised by their owners.
Help them preserve one of the most diverse habitats in Luxembourg with countless species of orchids, butterflies and threatened bird species.
Tools and food will be provided on site. If you would prefer a vegetarian food option, please let the organisers know.
What to wear: hiking boots or shoes with a good grip, old clothes that you do not mind getting smoky from the fire, and preferably clothes that are not polyester as the ash that rises in the air might still be alight and settle on your clothes.
What to bring: gloves, if you have them, at least 1 litre of drinking water and a hot drink, if you wish, and a change of clothes.
