Voluntary ecological year
Since 2014, our professorship has been a location for the Voluntary Ecological Year. The umbrella organization for our deployment site is the Grüne Aktion Sachsen (Green Action Saxony) e.V.
The FÖJs are employed both in our professorship and the professorship of Forest Growth and Woody Biomass Production.
From these different places of deployment results a variety of activities, e.g.:
• Processing of data collected in the field
• Maintenance of databases (vegetation data)
• Laboratory activities (preparation/preparation of soil samples)
• Field work and office work
• Horticultural activities on the ecological test field (harvesting, planting, sowing)
