    >>> PLEASE NOTE !!!!!!!!

    We are at the initial CONSTRUCTION/ BUILDING phase of this project, this phase of the project requires applicable building/construction skills . In order to assist us with the "custom build", you must be have previous hands-on experience with such. Precise measurements, angle calculations, precise cuts (of timber), proper power tools utilization, and installation of structural parts, framing, cladding, roofing and finishing. This is a learning experience, as we are able to exchange knowledge and skills, but unable to offer PRACTICE situations. Without previous applicable knowledge and building skills, a volunteer might NOT be satisfied with the work and overall hosting experience.
    Transparency and clarity from both host and volunteers are vital to a positive and valuable experience....

    >>>>> WELCOME !!!!

    We are welcoming physically and intellectually active volunteers with applicable knowledge & skills in building, construction and carpentry... Volunteers who resonate with our concept/projects are very much encouraged to contact us anytime.

    Enjoy Mother Nature... Cultural exchange.... Healthy lifestyle......

    Long Point Conservational Area , is natural habitat within the famous Ontario Greenbelt, wetlands and agricultural zoning. We are 1.5hrs from Toronto, and 1.5hr from Niagara Falls, the USA border. This geographical area is refereed as "Ontario's Garden", due to its concentration of greenhouses and field farming of all kinds of fruits, vegetables and flowers.

    It will be our pleasure to resonate, accommodate, share, guide and a learn from our future friends. From the great Canadian Outdoors, to our 20 acres of forest (part of the Long Point Conservation area)...
    Our Eco Project, focuses on micro-organic farming and outdoor living while offering a display of self-sustainable methods.
    WE ARE AT THE CONSTRUCTION PHASE, hence the true need of volunteers with working experience in the areas of:

    >>> Carpentry (timber log house) , custom wood sheds , some Japanese joinery.

    >>> Construction , Framing, Roofing, Plumbing..

    >>> Volunteers capable and willing to assist with hard labour / construction tasks should consider applying.

    We are most able to welcome all volunteers (without building experience) after the month of OCTOBER 2020.

    Volunteers with experience/ skills will be partially remunerated for your time and effort, so you can add to your continuous travels.
    Please feel welcome to read through and learn more about the details of our project, lots of information for clarity and transparency.
    We are here to share and assist one another, feel welcome to contact us anytime.
    We wish you all the best with your travels.

    Cheers!

    Of course, you are welcome to join us for a few weeks too.

    SOME TASKS:

    Phase 1: > ( 4 - 8 weeks)

    We all must feel satisfied, and fulfilled by the activities we do together, so our hearts and minds are truly caring for all members, and vice-versa.
