    Description

    Hi. We are located in the “garden of Ireland” in beautiful County Wicklow beside Carrig Mountain and its extensive forests. Our property over 150 acres is truly unique, a real one-off gem with beautiful woodland, parkland, ponds and access to the mountains from the valley. There are lots of walkways through the property, with plenty of wildlife, such as deer, foxes, badgers, pheasants and wild duck. The entire property is a private Nature Reserve.

    You will have your own lovely self-contained unit on site with central heating, shower and kitchen. There is WiFi at the property. We are looking for people to assist with the day to day improvements, maintenance and repairs on the Reserve. The accommodation is provided, together with food, which you will mostly cook for yourself. It is a really special place and offers a tranquil, peaceful and delightful environment. The nearest village, Ashford, is 3km away. The nearest town is Wicklow and Dublin is only approx 30 minutes drive, with a direct bus every few hours each day to the city centre. There is lots to do in Wicklow cultural, sporting, sightseeing and leisure. There are bicycles for you to enjoy and fishing off the Wicklow coast, with the tourist attractions of nearby in Glendalough, Laragh, Roundwood and Wicklow Mountains National Park.

    Help and assistance is required in the nature reserve with a variety of duties, undergrowth clearance, replanting of trees, wild bulbs, looking after reserve projects, building or making paths, walls, ditches, bridges, cleaning out bat boxes, bird boxes, ponds, pruning and sculpting trees, harvesting wild fruits, building pens and fences, repairs to roads, property maintenance, caring for our gardens, woods, parkland flora and fauna and collecting data on birds and wildlife. We also take in orphaned and injured wildlife, care for them and when ready, release them back into the wild. We never know who or what will be visiting us!

    You should be a good communicator, responsible and trustworthy, with a an enthusiasm and passion for wildlife, conversation, trees, nature and animals.

    If this exchange position is of any interest to you please email us with your details and history of work you have done or any queries you might have. Don't forget to clearly outline your arrival and departure dates. We look forward to hearing from you. Thanks for reading!

    Best wishes.

    We are also an animal sanctuary so will get to see rare birds and animals which we care for and then release back into the wild. In the past we have had pine martins, owls, It can be very varied as to what animals and birds we have and on occasions we may have none at all.
