Luckily, the Himalayan balsam can be easily removed by plucking and this method has been proved effective over the years. ELF's volunteers have plucked up the Himalayan balsam in Karula since 2017 and the results have been promising so far.
Karula National Park is famous for its vast forests and hilly landscape. This region is also an important habitat for the black stork (
Ciconia nigra), which is a rare bird species in Estonia. The Estonian traditions and the old way of life are still alive in Karula. Historical farmhouses, old wagon trails, the local dialect, and smoke saunas are still here. The worksite in Karula is next to a lake: bring Your swimwear!
It is possible to elongate Your stay and continue the same work at
Otepää Nature Park on July 3-6. If You participate in both camps, use the 10% discount code "SARITALGUD".
This nature volunteering camp is funded by
Environmental Investment Centre.
