Description
My name is Janna and I have helped start a foundation that has planted 155 Coconut Palm trees in our beach and on some of the town streets. We want to plant 500 more this year & have an event once a month during surf season (Jan-April) with the locals to beautify different areas in town that you will help prep for each month. I also have projects around the house, that can include making vegan food, basic house maintenance, and taking care of animals. If you are a decent photographer or good with promo we can use some help with promotions too.

You will also have some free meals at different restaurants to use up while you are with us and 3 free yoga classes!
Help
We are looking for week-long volunteers to help a once a month, the week before our "First Sat of each month event" where we plant, clean, and educate people in different areas of our town of Canoa. Duties include planting palm trees and other plants, cleaning up the beach, and painting signs with some children. We also need people who can help on social media and put together promo materials for education and support. We are a newly formed not for profit group that are trying to safe-guard a tropical feel in our coastal town as well as develop an educated and eco-community! Join us!
