We need help with forest maintenance (brush-cutting), general maintenance of the buildings/apartments, pruning trees (february-march), preparing the vegetable patch and weeding.
Hello! We are Ruurd and Elena. We have about 10 ha. (25 acres) of forest, 62 olive trees, a few flowerbeds and we grow our own fruit and vegetables.
We are looking for people (age 23+), fluent in English or Dutch, with some life and work experience, a good work ethic, presentable, in good physical condition and who are not afraid to get their hands dirty.
We take 1 or 2 volunteers at a time, unless we have a project that requires more volunteers. This means you will need to be able to entertain yourself most of the time.
Do you like being outdoors in a rural area, hiking, canoeing, biking, fishing, explore the river, the wildlife or just have some quiet time? Than this is the place for you!!!
