Details: The English-speaking Section of natur&ëmwelt is organising a Get Fit by Nature evewnt in the Altenhoven orchard in Bettembourg on 28 November 2015 from 10:00 to 16:00.
Let's get fit ... and what better way to get fit than by helping to preserve an orchard of heirloom varieties of fruit trees in Bettembourg. The natur&ëmwelt English-speaking Section is joining the Remich and Bettembourg-Mondercange Sections at their 'Fit by Nature' event where participants will undertake maintenance in the small and large orchards: clearing unwanted shrubs, planting fruit trees and protecting the fruit trees.
At least 15 people are needed to help clear the orchard which is being invaded by shrubs and trees. Families with children of 10 years or older are welcome. As there will be machines (e.g. chainsaws, trimmers / strimmers) and fires at the site, parents are asked to supervise their children.
An explanation of the importance of the site will be given at the event; Tools will be provided on site.
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.
Food is kindly offered by the Bettembourg Commune.
Donations for the project can be made by bank transfer to IBAN CCPL LULL LU89 1111 0789 9941 0000, mentioning "Orchards".
Members of the public can support natur&ëmwelt in their habitat and nature conservation efforts by becoming a member.
