Description
LOOKS LIKE NEWFOUNDLAND IS OPENING UP! HOPE TO SEE SOME WORKAWAYS THIS SUMMER! We are a family of three living off grid on a hill overlooking Conception Bay North. We have ten acres of land in an abandoned Newfoundland community. We hope to be able to expand our homestead to include eco-retreatants and pasture for animals.
Types of help and learning opportunities
Help with Eco Projects
DIY and building projects
General Maintenance
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Travellers will learn carpentry skills, off grid skills, and discover something about how people once lived in Newfoundland outports. They will learn how to build a pasture for animals, construction, and traditional cod fishing.
Projects involving children
This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.
Help
The Newfoundland Pony is going extinct because of loss of habitat. They have gone from 12000 to 250, and the few that remain have little pasture land. We hope to enclose a kilometre of prime pasture on the coast to offer it to Pony owners in the summer. We need help building the fence and digging a well for the animals. We also need help finishing construction of the Hermitage, building an outdoor kitchen, digging a garden, and finishing a guesthouse.
