  Description

  My name is Mireille. I live in the Cévennes a very beautiful middle mountain area in the south of the France .We are at only 100 kilometers from the mediterranean sea !!!! I live in an authentic cevenol house with my husband Patrick.
  We need help for taking care of a forest where nature has reclaimed its rights. The weather is very fine the most of the time and the ideal time to do this work is autumn or spring ...
  
  Of course we do not want to endanger the person who will come to help us !!We have the trees cut down or especially pruned by professional gardeners! We don't even cut down a tree!!!Only a few branches sometimes...The help we expect consists of clearing brush,moving dead wood to make heaps , replacing stones on low walls etc...nothing of dangerous and always the work will be done together.
