​

This project is designed for tree caretakers and nature lovers who are not afraid of hard work! As we reach the fifth consecutive winter of our reforestation effort, we are now finally entering the last unexplored piece of land in our project, after two years of land preparation - which included landscape intervention to implement a water retention design, the removal of the eucalyptus, and a soil regeneration process through green seeding complemented with the introduction of mycorrhizae.

In exchange for 6 hours of work, 5 days a week, we offer 3 vegan meals a day, and the opportunity to learn about reforestation and land rehabilitation using bio-dynamic and permaculture principles.

​

From May to October, please bring your own tent. 

​

We have a group room where we can share meditations, yoga, breathwork etc

​

Working hours:
9am - 4-4:30pm
11-11:30 - coffee break
1-2pm - lunch
