  Description

  Nestled in the lap of nature, just two hours away from Bangalore, the camp is a nature lover's haven.
  
  We are practicing permaculture for vegetables, millets and also harvesting heirloom non hybrid seeds.
  
  Along with being a permaculture farm, it has also been set up as an education and research centre for folks to attend nature focussed workshops, be it birding, butterflies or herpetology.
  
  While we encourage volunteers, interns, researchers to come here we also welcome others to come and visit us to have an immersive experience of what our permaculture farm and jungle camp offers.

  Aide

  We have 3 kinds of projects you can participate in.
  First - Looking for enthusiastic volunteers to assist us with organic and perma-culture farming. These will be tasks like creating raised beds of hay and mud, planting seeds and watering them. There is NO digging work involved.
  Second: Help us do local flora and fauna surveys. This requires you to either be a naturalist or a field biologist or have keen interest in birds and insects.
  Third: Art. We have some nature focused murals to be painted. We are also making some hanging art pieces to be put up in dining area. You can help with this
