Steinbrüchel Conservation Volunteer Day
Help NVMU care for the Steinbrüchel reserve in Männedorf, with reed cutting, practical maintenance and a shared lunch.
Why it caught our eye
This is a practical way to contribute to a local reserve maintained by NVMU since 1978. Its ponds, meadow, fruit trees and hedges support a varied habitat, and seasonal care helps keep that variety intact.
What you can expect
Work includes cutting reeds and installing the new information display. Depending on what is needed, the group may also carry out maintenance at Pfruenderhaab, Chiletöbeli and possibly Bahnweg. Ueli Hofmann leads the day. Snacks, drinks and a free lunch are provided; lunch is also offered to half-day helpers.
Good to know before you go
Participation is free. Meet at Steinbrüchel beside Im Russer 41, Männedorf. Bring sturdy footwear and gardening gloves; other tools are provided. Non-members and half-day volunteers are welcome. The detailed invitation gives an approximate finish, so arrange a shorter stay with the leader if needed. For practical questions, contact Ueli Hofmann on 076 494 85 43. The original programme is in German; a separate working-language statement is not published.
