Program description:
The tree houses;
The tree house work camp are a special work camp started by us to build a number of tree houses in our private forest, providing a suitable accommodation for our volunteers that comes to help us with our different projects. The tree houses will be built by volunteers for volunteers. No paid professionals will assist in this project. As we have never relied on any paid third party for the projects and jobs we have done, our club has a wealth of expertise in the areas of building, maintaining and repairing, that our volunteers can profit from. Building materials will be bought, or taken from our big supply of wood, as we are taking down a former built construction that no longer serve our needs. The tree houses will be built approximately 2-3 meters above the ground, and it’s important to us to find solutions on how to best make the tree houses without damaging the trees or hinder their growth. Final plans will be made together with the volunteers drawing on their ideas and possible their experience as well.
Volunteers coming to this project will also work to improve the facilities in the camp. This jobs will include; maintenance of already existing constructions, improving the camp, build on the stable, cleaning the forest, making footpaths, painting, put fences in the camp, build on the coffee shop, repair our boat Neptune 1, install electric installations, etc. Anything that needs to be done.
