  • Description

    Hey! My name is Luca Heyns, I’m 18 years old and originally from South Africa. In the Western Cape Region.

    I have a huge passion for nature, conservation, restoring natural environments, sustainable living, and eco friendly building. I’m really interested in learning practical skills and understanding how we can live more closer to nature while taking care of the environment around us.

    I’m really curious, hardworking, and always happy to learn something new. I’d love the opportunity to meet people who share these interests, contribute wherever I can, and gain hands on experience in projects involving nature, farming, conservation, or sustainable living.

    I’m really looking forward to learning, helping out, and having a great experience!
