コード IE-VSI 10.1
プログラム名 Killarney National Park Woodland Conservation Project
開催期間 2025/07/13(日)～2025/07/26(土)
背景 Killarney National Park in Co. Kerry in the south west of Ireland is over 10,000 hectares in size and comprises mountains, lakes and woodland. The park is managed by the National Parks and Wildlife Service. It has an extensive range of trees, plants and wildlife. In the 19th century the rhododendron tree/bush (Rhododendron ponticum) was introduced and this has proved to be a highly invasive and destructive tree and has threatened to colonise large areas of the park. The rhododendron is threatening the bio diversity of the park and many native species of trees, shrubs, mosses are under threat.
仕事内容 Volunteers will work on natural methods of rhododendron control in remote mountain areas of the park such as dead-heading rhododendrons, stem treating of mature plants with small tools, the picking of seedlings and cutting of saplings using secateurs. The work may include using handheld tools such as loppers and hatchets, which you will receive full training on how to use safely on the 2nd day of the project. In addition, volunteers will help to plant native trees, construct dead hedges using dead rhododendrons, and in other habitat conservation by pulling up seedlings, for example.
宿泊 Accommodation will be in a dormitory style hostel in the park, with all modern appliances. Volunteers will cook for themselves on a rota basis and will bring a packed lunch to their worksite each day. Please note there is no wi-fi at the hostel and phone reception in the park is limited. Wi-fi is available approx. 15 mins walk from the hostel.

資格 Age 18-99. Since the work in Killarney is in remote areas of the National Park and the work itself can be physically demanding, a moderate level of physical fitness is required. The park terrain is mountainous and tough, and volunteers need to be fit enough to handle this.
備考 The midge fly is widespread in the park as well as ticks so volunteers must be prepared to use a strong insect repellent and wear a protective net when working. The park will provide nets, gloves and rubber boots. Volunteers are also required to wear long sleeves and trousers while working.
INCOMING FEE: there will be an incoming fee of ?35 to be paid by volunteers applying via SCI partner organisations/contacts only. More details on how to pay will be provided upon acceptance. If you apply through an SCI branch, this does not apply to you.
募集人数 10人
