Familys Trin GR
In the family project in Trin, children and adults work together to preserve the protective forest and maintain the cultural landscape. In an impressive setting - from the Rhine gorge to the edge of the forest - the project combines meaningful work, exciting nature experiences and unforgettable adventures for the whole family.
Wald und Kulturlandschaft
Trin lies at the entrance to the Surselva. The mountain village is located under a large protective forest, which also protects the road towards the nearby large tourist centers of Flims and Laax. Below Trin is the Rhine Gorge, often referred to as the "Grand Canyon of Switzerland". The Flims landslide formed this unique landscape 10,000 years ago. Over the millennia, the Rhine has carved its way through the rock barrier and today offers an impressive natural spectacle with unique flora and fauna.
Idee und Ziele
The family project in Trin combines nature-based work with shared experiences. The activities are designed in such a way that children and adults can work together - without pressure to perform, but with a clear common task. The group gets to know the mountain forest habitat, gains exciting insights into its importance and experiences directly how commitment and teamwork pay off. The experience of "moving trees" together will be remembered for a long time by young and old alike.
Das erwartet dich
The work is flexibly adapted to current needs as well as weather and terrain conditions and can vary. The simple forestry work is varied and suitable for children. Playful elements and short inputs on the forest ecosystem liven up the day. Several short excursions complete the program. All work is carried out under the guidance of experienced project and group leaders.
The day starts on Sunday with an introduction to the Bergwaldprojekt and the course of the week. The days start early: breakfast is served at 6:30 a.m. and then the work begins. One highlight is the weekly forestry excursion in the surrounding area. In addition to forestry work, volunteers also take on simple housekeeping tasks in the accommodation, such as tidying up or washing up.
