Description
Are you looking for an adventure, beautiful nature and some important work?
We’ve taken on a remote 100-acre forest farm in Northern Sweden with a view to creating a rewilding/retreat centre and possibly potentially an off-grid community in the longer-term future. We are at the birthing stage of the project. Ask us for our website link
There are a variety of jobs to help us with getting set up: currently we very much need help with processing timber for next years firewood.
You will have the opportunity to help with other general tasks such as clearing snow in the winter and various outdoor work while enjoying the fresh air and beautiful scenery.
Accommodation is in a guest cottage with a kitchen and lounge area, walking distance to a vast, beautiful lake for wild swimming (or in winter, ice-baths!), mountain walks (and ski-ing) and stunning forest on the doorstep. We can also accommodate anyone who may wish to come in a live-in vehicle or camp.
We have full-time guardians staying in the main farm-house when we are not there, who would liaise with you on our behalf. We will be there ourselves June-September and happy to host workaways during this time. We are friendly, happy to share our experience and activities, good food and chats around the fire outside. We like to welcome adaptable, conscientious people who enjoy wild nature, good conversations, healthy food and an interest in community living.
This is a very fairly place! We can offer transport to/from the nearest big town, which is Östersund. There are no shops or services close by, but there is a hotel with a bar/restaurant and a campsite with a ski slope/bike park.
Accommodation and food will be provided in exchange for 20-25 hours a week per person, and you will have the chance to immerse yourself in the beautiful local landscape.Types d'aide et opportunités d'apprendre
