The 2nd International Volunteer Work Camp, which took place between May 25 and June 8, gathered a total of 20 volunteers from France, Spain, Belgium, South Korea, Hungary, Poland, Ukraine, Croatia, Switzerland and Serbia.
During these two weeks, in spite of unfavorable weather, the volunteers managed to: clean about 40 km of forest paths, cut and clear the vegetation on 15 km of forest paths, remove 4 mini landfills, set up 2 resting places, make and install 30 road signs. Lecturers from the Young Researchers of Serbia association held the one-day course in recycling and Serbian culture and language. The volunteers also enjoyed the visit to cultural and historical monuments of the region, which was organized for them.
The results of Eco-camp Tršić 2008. were beyond all expectations of the organizers, participants and sponsors. Many mini scrap yards on the territory of Tršić and Tronoša were cleaned up, as well as a big one in Tronoša, at the very beginning of “Vuk’s path to school”. Eleven trucks and two tractors with trailers were loaded with all kinds of trash collected in this area and driven to the city dump.
Within the scope of Eco-camp, the first containers for recycling of PET and ALU packaging were placed in this area. So far, five containers have been set in the municipality Loznica in association with private companies that have recognized the need for environment protection.
