Burning Stairs --> Freiland Build Weekend 10-12 May
Build Weekend 10-12 May
Freiland has completely demolished the rotting stairs that led up and down the site. They have asked for our help in building new stairs! Hopefully... we can burn the old ones.
We would love to invite anyone from the community who wants to come out and camp at Freiland for the weekend (or part of the weekend).
The site is BEAUTIFUL this time of year - everything is blooming, the sun rises and sun sets are amazing, the bonfires are big, and there are tons of quiet moments away from the bustle of the city.
What is needed
- Workers with tools who can help build the stairs
- Extra pairs of willing hands who want to learn some construction (if you can bring tools you have, that is useful)
- People who want to come and fluff the workers
- Cooks/Kitchen experts who can bring food and help communal cooking
We'd love to show our support to Freiland and help make our space even more beautiful!!
Please post in the thread if you would like to attend and what you can bring!
Transport Costs
Since this is a work weekend, we want to help those coming to site. We are considering covering train tickets and/or gas to get to site for those who would travel by car (and take others with you). More info to come!

For everyone coming - Like mentioned by @remyschneider already there will be food provided on site on Saturday and Sunday. If you're coming on Friday already you'll need to fend for yourselves...
And as always it's best to bring some snacks too, as well as your own cup, plate & cutlery to be self reliant... We'll post a more comprehensive update tomorrow!
Weather forecast is looking OK for the weekend, looking forward to seeing you all there :-)

Being new to Berlin, I don't have any camping gear yet. I'm planning to pick up a sleeping bag before the weekend, but does anyone have a tent they'd be willing to loan me? I'm an experienced event camper, so it will be returned well-packed!

Hello all! Is there someone here who wants to tackle kitchen with me? Apparently there is already a kitchen onsite, but would be great to go shopping for some groceries and try to get some cooking down (just once on Sat and once on Sunday) to keep the volunteers fed.

Does anyone have space in their car going there on Friday/Saturday and/or coming back on Sunday?

I would like to help, does anyone have a free seat?

My car is full unfortunately... but happy to do pickup from the train there (Sternfeld station).

Many thanks to everyone who came!! Freiland made a bunch of happy noises about us coming, sticking at it through difficulties and making a good amount of progress that they can build on... I.e. mission achieved, lots of love and thanks to you all <3

It was exhausting, but really fun!
The Freiland people will be working the next weekends, so if anyone wants to help they'll be super grateful if you come over.

This might be a strange question, but food is provided, right? Or should I bring my own?
Also- if I am correct there are trains going to Demmin leaving at 7:42 and 9:42 on Saturday. They take 2.5 hrs. What do you guys think?
