    Descrição

    Hi and thank you for looking at our profile.

    Mark & Owen and their sons have been developing a conservation breeding facility for endangered birds in the lovely Scottish Borders. We are a registered not-for-profit organisation with saving rare birds and promoting a more sustainable way of living at our heart.

    We need people who know gardening to help make our vegetable garden functional and beautiful. I personally love vegetable gardening but simply don't have the time to get stuck in and grow food. This would be an ideal workaway for a couple or two friends; gardening is much more fun with more than one person. Sadly we won't be able to join-in as much as we would love to. There are bigger projects which would benefit from more hands. We are currently building a nesting cliff for the endangered northern bald ibis which we would like to finish this spring in time for the breeding season. Mark is planning to start a gardening club with the local school and village, it would be fun to join in with this club, meet local people and celebrate teamwork and big achievements.

    Whilst this workaway placement won't be working directly with the birds, you will be working amongst them and you will have connection with fascinating species and characters.

    We encourage volunteers to take two days off a week. Most of our volunteers go exploring Scotland, relaxing in this beautiful countryside or get involved with Edinburgh's wonderful culture and history. From Edinburgh you can catch tour buses for a day or multiple day tours round the Highlands and Islands.

    This is a welcoming place with no prejudice.

    If you would like to be a part of this adventure with the opportunity to further conservation work and promoting a more sustainable way of living, then do get in touch.

    Thank you for reading!

    This is a great opportunity to live amongst a variety of wonderful birds and animals.
    The village is very friendly. They are currently renovating the village pub which will hopefully open again soon.
    There are regular buses to Edinburgh with all the shopping, culture and history you could wish for! The same buses go south, further into the Borders where there are old towns and villages to explore.

    We have built a not for profit organisation with the skin on our fingers. Our key objectives are to promote a more sustainable way of living and the conservation of the natural world. Getting the gardens tidy and functional is this year's project, we would also welcome thoughts and ideas from experienced gardeners.

    We live in a pretty village with many lovely walks through rolling Scottish Borders countryside. There is a regular bus service which can take you further down into the Scottish Borders where there are fascinating towns and villages which are incredibly rich in culture and are historically important. And of course a good bus service direct to Edinburgh city centre.

    Mark and I are open to all cultures, religions, gender, sexuality etc.
