    Update: We are looking for help mainly in September and October. If you are interested to learn about water retention landscapes, we will be working on making and refining water retention features. In October the main focus will be on a big planting inspired by Syntropic Agroforestry. This will include propagation, irrigation, planting, pruning, and aftercare. We can offer a cozy van to stay in.


    We are a project located in the early hills of the Monchique mountains in the Southwest of Portugal, nestled in a valley between Cork Oaks and Medronheiros with a river running through the valley half of the year. We have two lakes, one oh which is perfect for swimming and cooling off. We also have about 12Ha of Eucalyptus forest we are making plans for transitioning into a more mixed forest.
    We have been the stewards of this 36Ha piece of land called Vale da Cerva for the last 4 years.
    Our group consists of Hari, originally a Geographer turned project manager with a passion for the drums. Ramona, Goldsmith, Painter, and overall creative mind. Their son Nelson, music producer turned carpenter, land manager, with hopes to expand to farmer and water/ecosystem regeneration. Eva, Nelson's partner, an early childhood educator and singer who still has her base in Berlin but does her best to come to Portugal when she can.

    We are all German with Ramona, Hari and Nelson having spent a lot of time living abroad in Ireland and the USA.

    The next Village is about 5mins by car and has two Cafes.
    The next bigger towns are Lagos(25min), Portimão(20mins), Monchique(35mins), or Aljezur(35mins).
    A car or at least bike is very helpful to get around.

    Arbeit

    We ask for 4 hours a day for 5 days a week although friday usually is a short day as we like to have a meeting in the early afternoon.
    Tasks we currently have are mostly building and planting but other tasks can include crew care, building our digital organizational platform, help with grants, etc. Talk to us about your skills and what you would like to learn/get out of it.
    In exchange you have a hot shower, toilet, and usually two great meals a day(most of us are really into cooking and eating good food).

    For now just a cozy van with a 140x200 Bed so it would be suitable for a couple.

    On days off there are hikes to go on, bike rides, beaches to visit(both south and west coast). It is however best if you have your own transport. We do often go out on weekends and can take you but we've learned it's much better if you can feel independent. Nelson goes to bike polo every Sunday and is willing to take people along for it.
    Often there are little parties of friends we go to, where you could join if you'd like.

    Selma

    Super sweet energetic dog. She is good with other dogs(not dominant) and her only fault may be that she constantly wants to play and kiss, which gets to be a bit much for some dogs.
