Help
I HAVE THE FOLLOWING VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES:
- Field assistant for fieldwork, forest measurements, establishing field trials, working with farming families, and also on forestry research projects.
I am primarily looking for volunteers to collaborate in fieldwork. Basically, this involves helping to take measurements in the forest, using very basic GPS equipment for recording some variables, and staying in contact with farming families. Collaborating in forest days (training), among other work-related activities. The work area covers the entire Aysén region.
Volunteering is flexible. Travel and sightseeing opportunities may be provided. -

IN GENERAL, I 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. I PREFER OLDER AGES, MEN OR WOMEN, IT IS MORE EASY FOR US THAT CAN EAT MEAT, AND THAT YOU LIKE THE BEER. LOL
