Description
We have the incredible opportunity to preserve and care for a beautiful piece of land in the protected area "Quebrada de los Cuervos y Sierras del Yerbal". Our mission includes restoring an old stone house, build a new wooding cabing, planting a vegetable garden, building a greenhouse, fencing to protect specific areas, and controlling invasive plant species.
When we're not working, we embrace the beauty of this place together enjoying nature, playing football, swimming in a stunning pond, singing, playing instruments, chatting with foxes, picking mushrooms, birdwatching, and cooking delicious meals over a fire.
If you're proactive, passionate about nature, and eager to learn or share your skills, we'd love to have you join us. Together, we can protect the environment and make a difference while creating unforgettable memories!Types of help and learning opportunities
