VOLUNTEER INFORMATION PERMATREE

Live and work at PermaTree

Everyone works for 6 day a week on farm projects or maintenance plus help to cook the meals. We use shared facilities: kitchen; bathroom; laundry area, and we take turns with daily chores such as cleaning.

Eat healthy seasonal, local and partially organic food. We eat as much organic produce as possible and harvest as much of our food from the finca as we can. Sunday's we go to one of the local markets to buy our food for the entire week. We cool all our meals together.

Learn about sustainability

All our light bulbs are LED so they use a very small amount of power. One of our showers is heated by black pipes with the sun's rays. All of our grey waste water goes into a banana circle and then a pond. We have composting toilets and use the compost in the garden. We try to be an education centre where many people can learn about all these ideas/techniques and how they can apply them in their own homes.

Surrounded by nature

At PermaTree you are literally surrounded by nature. We are located at the edge of the Amazonas region in the south of Ecuador with a breathtaking landscape view of the Rio Zamora. The twilight is spectacular on cloudy days. At night you can enjoy listening to the frogs, bats and owls. During the day, if you are lucky enough, you can see eagles very near our bamboo house. Snakes, spiders and mosquitoes are a part of the ecosystem here. You can walk around the farm which is about 76 hectares or 180 acres. There are several creeks and waterfalls within the different micro climates of the property.
