Description
Volunteer Opportunity at Reforestation Project
Reforestation Project Overview: Our reforestation initiative is a crucial part of our commitment to sustainability and environmental restoration. The local ecosystem has been severely impacted by monoculture and invasive Eucalyptus trees, which have disrupted the native biodiversity. Our goal is to restore the land to its natural state by planting a diverse array of native species. This project not only aims to revive the natural habitat but also to promote long-term ecological health and biodiversity.
What We Offer:
- Accommodation in our co-living spaces
- Healthy meals made from local ingredients
- Access to our co-working facilities
- Participation in community events, workshops, and creative initiatives
- A unique opportunity to contribute to meaningful environmental change while enjoying the tranquility and beauty of the Portuguese countryside
- Most importantly, an opportunity to learn!
Join Us: By volunteering with us, you'll be part of a transformative project that directly impacts the health and sustainability of our local environment. You'll also have the chance to connect with a diverse community of like-minded individuals, enhance your knowledge about sustainable practices, and enjoy the serene surroundings of our beautiful property. This project is a non-commercial project; our goal is restoring the forest to its native state and educating volunteers on sustainable practices.
