Description
Escape the digital hustle and reconnect with nature in the breathtaking Stara Planina Mountains! 🌲 Join us for a unique volunteering experience where you'll immerse yourself in eco-living and enjoy a much-needed digital detox. Dive into meaningful projects while breathing in fresh mountain air and rejuvenating your soul 🧘♀️ If this sounds like the opportunity for you, contact us for more information!
Our project is to enable humans of all
ages and walks of life to discover
themselves in the forest through fun
activities and experiences. We want to
encourage people to connect with the
natural world while also having a
positive impact on the environment and
the landscape. The hub of our
community is deep in the forest, an
exciting and fun place to be!
April 2024 we will be completing the
renovation of our eco centre. This will
involve natural building, fencing,
gardening, carpentry, furniture making
all from recycled and locally sourced
materials. You don't have to be a professional to join us, we like things to be created
organically! We like to do things the way they were done in the past to keep the natural beauty and history alive! If you are a happy team player who would like a volunteer adventure in the Bulgurka Natural Park in return for bed, meals and a beer at the end of the day then send us a message we promise to get back to you!

Accommodation
You will be sharing a room with another workawayer. There are usually a few people volunteering at the same time. Work hours and tasks are flexible, we want you to enjoy your time here and maybe discover some hidden talents! We have power, and internet signal (you'll need your own data/phone plan). Currently there is no running water, however this is being sorted! Otherwise we'll usually go to the spring fountain and fill large bottles for drinking and showering etc.
Bed, meals and a beer at the end of the day
