Rakes, pitchforks and saws instead of the usual workday routine. Would you like to inspire your team to join an adventure and promote team spirit and practical nature conservation? All right in the heart of Zurich.

The Allmend in Zurich is an exceptionally diverse and valuable area. It used to be regularly flooded by the Sihl river, and later served as a military training ground. The result is a structurally rich, open habitat with a high level of biodiversity.
