Help
If you are looking for a place to stay for a while on your own, I may have a nice place for you. You have to bring your motorhome or tent, but i also can provide that for you, if you think it might be a option to you, get in touch.
The land is in its natural state now, with a shelter, lots of recycled construction material and plenty of space to develop organic farming and permaculture, or whatever you want, there's no shortage of water, there are two wells.
The land needs care and improvements but it is a project that we can create together.
A compost toilet needs to be built.
Theres Time to create some steps/ ladder between the terraces of the land, and restore the wall of the wells and walls arround the land.
The land still some ground clearence, and shaping for farming.
Experience to creat a Eco toillet will be great.
Experience in farming is very welcome.
I'm now looking for enthusiastic helpers, mainly to make a general ground clearance, vegetables gardening, and basic wall maintenance/re-bilding.
You can also bring your one experience in alternative energy, cutting down dead trees, stacking winter fire wood, creating a forest garden, permeculture, wall construction whith cement and stones, etc.
Natural builder. I'm needing help to rebuild some parts of a wall and make some steps to create a stair to go to the uper level of the land. PRIORITI AT THE MOMENT.
Volunteers must be able to work by there one, because i can not be in presence all time.
