Work together for success. Grow together as a team. Make a lasting impact.
This corporate volunteering project along the Töss River combines meaningful work with a powerful team-building experience. Your employees will work together, get to know each other better and strengthen their team spirit through collaborative efforts that yield visible results.
At the same time, participants will contribute to the restoration of the river floodplains near Embrach-Rorbas, where non-native plants are damaging the species-rich habitats. After mowing, the cut grass is gathered into piles, opening up space for sunlight, structure and fresh habitats where plants and animals can thrive. Participants will also learn about the rare river floodplain habitat and, with a bit of luck, observe the kingfishers that live there.
This initiative creates value on multiple levels. Nature gains diversity and the team gains motivation and cohesion. At the same time, your company credibly demonstrates its commitment to sustainability.
Plan your involvement today and make a real impact together – to promote vibrant river floodplains and a strong corporate culture.
