Description
Stuttgart is the capital of the Federal State of Baden-Wuerttemberg and for many years has marketed itself as Stuttgart city amongst forests and grapevines. One of the most beautiful local forests is the Rotwildpark, the deer park in the western part of the city which is 4 square km in size. The Rotwildpark with its many ancient oaks and beech trees of strange and impressive shapes has been a nature reserve since 1939.
Unfortunately, non-indigenous plants have started to become a problem and this projects main task is to help halt that spread, especially that of the Indian balsam (impatiens glandulifera). As this is only possible with the help of many willing hands, both the Stuttgart Councils Countryside Conservation Department and the local forestry commission are very much looking forward to your contribution. Besides that work, you may be involved in constructing a barbecue site and maintaining other recreational areas including other maintenance of bio topical settings.
Highlights
The project takes place in Baden-Württemberg. Stuttgart offers a lot of opportunities for leisure activities. The deer park is 10 km from the center of Stuttgart.
