Description
After re-foresting and conserving old-growth forest on a 70 hectare (173 acres) property, we are now making it accessible to blind people and people in a wheelchair through an all-accessible trail
In summer we rent a small cabin in the woods
Slowly we are transforming degraded farmland in a permaculture farm and food forest.
This Spring, Summer and Autumn we need volunteers to help us gather wood from our forest to make mulch for our vegetable and flower garden .
We are a family of four:
-Grecia : born on the island of Chiloé, 4th generation artisan
Teaches weaving on the traditional and Swedish loom
-Tamara : Grecia’s daughter, loves basketball, music, traveling, foreign languages, swimming
-Gabriel : our new member of the family... Born in October 2013
-Jeroen : Belgian citizen since 2005 living on the Archipelago of Chiloé. Jeroen is a chef, farmer and tour guide
The main projects on Alihuen are:
- Wildlife protection
- Eco tourism
- Environmental education
- Reforestation
- Water conservation
- Sustainable land management
- Organic farming

Help
We are setting up a sustainable farming and living school and our first mission is to identify the local fauna, flora and fungi. Apart from that we always need help with:
- hole digging for tree planting
- take footage of the work we are doing with a GoPro or phone
- recycling garbage to make bottle bricks and the like
- pick garbage from the road
- seed collecting for the nursery
- fruit, vegetable & tuber harvesting
- mulching (covering weeds with dry grass)
- weeding, but not too much, that’s why we mulch
- handicraft according to your skills
- general maintenance

Accommodation
A cozy waterproof teepee tent, a separate toilet and bathroom and wood stove powered showers
A re-furbished traditional Chilote wooden house is the kitchen and living space or sleeping space in case of very cold weather
Cooking is done by the volunteers.
What else ...
What do we offer in return of your work:
-Accommodation and food ( cook your own) for 3 meals a day .
-Lessons on re-forestation and sustainable land management in general
-Clean skies The southern hemisphere sky is great for observing the stars. The closest cities are at 30 and 80 km so there is little light pollution. If you have an iPod, iPad or similar device, the ‘SkyView’ app helps you distinguishing the constellations and shows the names of stars, planets, comets etc...
-Lots of information about the region and the best places to visit
-A quiet and peaceful place with lots of birds and the occasional native deer, the second smallest in the world
-A river is close by to kayak and a nature reserve and national park are in the vicinity to hike and camp

I've stayed with Jeroen for 10 days and I just loved it. His place and his projects are incredible and it was amazing to be part of it. I wish the best and hope to go back one day in the future to see how's it going :) Thanks for all, Jeroen! Keep going, you are an example for me :)
Hugs for you and Grecia!
