Description
In 2027 we will be hosting couples or single people for two - three week periods starting in late May or early June. We are looking for help with removing invasive species - especially rhododendron ponticum and other outdoor projects. If you are fit and strong, enjoy being in Nature, like physical work and would appreciate flexible working hours that give you time to explore, please get in touch with us from April 2027.
We are a family of four living on four acres of beautiful, native woodland a short walk from one of the sweetest villages in Ireland, Glengarriff.
My husband and I live in the main house, our daughter and SIL live in a cabin next door. We have a caravan next to the house that provides comfortable, independent accommodation for up to two volunteers (if they are a couple). -

Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre
We have lived in this area for 17 years and are very interested in music, theatre, comedy, art, “slow food”, holistic health and exploring the natural beauty all around us. We love sharing what we’ve discovered.

Aide
We have recently finished our house renovation. We are looking for help with our woodland (clearing paths, thinning work to allow light in), rain water harvesting and creating woven fencing. We are also beginning to grow our own food. We use permaculture principles and are happy to share what we know.
We may also be doing some smaller projects involving DIY and wood tasks this summer.
If you like physical tasks, are strong and healthy and have experience in any of these areas (or are keen to learn) we’d love to hear from you. -

Hébergement
We offer a modern well equipped caravan with Wi-Fi, a fixed double bed, dining table, kitchen and toilet.
Our house also has a separate fridge/ sink/ hob/ laundry room and spacious toilet/shower room for our volunteers.
We offer self-catering accommodation for a a couple for up to 15 hours help per person per week. These hours can be very flexible to give you the best chance to explore this beautiful area. For instance, you can work three longer days and take four days off.
If you would like to work 25 hours per person per week we can also provide groceries for you and we will also share meals, if we are all in the mood to do that. -
Autres infos...
Our place feels completely secluded, but it’s five minutes walk to the water/ nearest hotel/ bar and ten minutes walk to Glengarriff. This is a great area for walking and camping. Glengarriff is on a quiet bay off Bantry Bay and the village itself has restaurants, a pizzeria, good coffee, cafes, pubs, and shops. There is live music at weekends.
There’s a lovely boat to nearby Garinish island and buses to lots of other great towns in West Cork and Kerry. Bantry and Kenmare are our closest towns, 20 minutes or 30 minutes by car, respectively.
We love the peace and tranquility here. We also love to go out, but we tend not to stay up too late or party. We enjoy keeping communications clear and trying to find a win-win situation for everyone. -
