    I am looking for volunteers to be able to collaborate in the field work mainly. Basically it is about being able to help make measurements in the forest, using GPS equipment that is very basic for the registration of some variables, and being in contact with peasant families, collaborating in the generation of forest days (training), among others of the work environment. The work area includes the entire Aysén region

    IN GENERAL, WE PREFER PEOPLE RELAXED, OF GOOD MOOD, WITH ENCOURAGEMENT TO CONTRIBUTE, THAT IS PATIENT, SOMETIMES NOT ALL THINGS WORK TO PERFECTION AND YOU HAVE TO WAIT SOME DAYS TO LEAVE THE FOREST, THAT UNDERSTAND THAT THE WORK IN AN NGO DOES NOT IT WORKS LIKE A COMPANY OR A PUBLIC SERVICE. WE PREFER OLDER AGES, MEN OR WOMEN, IT IS MORE EASY FOR US THAT CAN EAT MEAT, AND THAT YOU LIKE THE BEER. LOL

    Volunteering is flexible. It can provide the opportunity for you to travel and travel.

    EN GENERAL, PREFERIMOS GENTE RELAJADA, DE BUEN HUMOR, CON ANIMO DE CONTRIBUIR, QUE SEA PACIENTE, A VECES NO TODAS LAS COSAS FUNCIONAN A LA PERFECCION Y HAY QUE ESPERAR ALGUNOS DIAS PARA SALIR AL BOSQUE, QUE ENTIENDA QUE EL TRABAJO EN UNA ONG NO FUNCIONA IGUAL QUE UNA EMPRESA O UN SERVICIO PUBLICO. PREFERIMOS MAYORES DE EDAD, HOMBRES O MUJERES, ES MAS FACIL PARA NOSOTROS QUE PUEDAN COMER CARNE, Y QUE LES GUSTE LA CERVEZA. JAJA
