A few weeks ago,the estonian national TV chanel (ETV) came to interview us for a show called OZONE, apparently known by people around here as an environmental show. They came with the idea of showing the reserve and present its missions, but also show the work done by volunteers (us) and how this EVS programme was a good opportunity for organisation to work on such environmental and heritage protection projects. When you see how few projects there are in estonia on environment and heritage protection, compared with the richeness of the land in natural beauties and the importance of saving estonian heritage, We hope this show will help convince some organisations to think about EVS as a solution and add new projects in that field in the european database.
Although we were a little deceived by the fact that they were not interested in us telling them a few words in estonian (which we were really eager to do) we had a great time showing the team in their TV truck all the assets of our reserve, re-act some of our work, such as stone-wall-building, restoring bronze age tombs… It wasn’t always easy, especially under the hot sun which was shining that day, but we ended the day pretty contented of the good promotion we had done about the EVS and the reserve.
We hope to be able to put at least some extracts of the show on the blog (for those who unfortuneately do not receive estonian TV) but that’ll be sometime in mid-september we think.
