Kenozero National Park is situated in the south-west of the Arkhangelsk region, representing the conserved masterpieces of the Russian wooden architecture located in the traditional northern cultural landscape. The Park is also known for its unique nature and is a member of the UNESCO World Network of Biosphere Reserves. The project will focus on the conservation and restoration of the chapel of St. Apostle John the Evangelist (18th century) and a water mill from (late 19th century) both located in Zekhnova village. In 2008, a team of local carpenters performed a series of restoration works on the bell tower and the roofing of the chapel. Nevertheless, there are still interventions needed in order to preserve the chapel. In particular, during the project following works are planned: corrective actions at the bell tower and at the porch, a partial replacement of the roof construction, the dome-drum and supporting beams as well as a partial replacement of the wooden shingles. The water mill in Zekhnova village exists since 19th century and was abandoned in 1970-s. The restoration of the mill began in 2004 and was finished in 2008, but the water channel sourcing the mill is still in poor condition. During the project the channel will be deconstructed, damaged logs will be replaced by new ones, the necessary treatment measures will be undertaken to revitalize the channel. During the project, volunteers will have the opportunity to use traditional carpentry tools and earn basic techniques of working with axes. They will also learn several ways of marking and replacing logs as well as other wood processing technologies. In addition, volunteers will understand how water mills work and will have the chance to see such construction from an insider's view. The program will be completed by excursions.
