Monte da Vida

Ideally we are looking for someone who is interested in joining us for the longer term, looking after the forest and helping to regenerate it to a biodiverse mediterranean woodland. However this would begin with a shorter visit to see how we all get on. We are looking for someone with a passion for trees, experience with chainsaw work, and tree pruning, cutting and splitting wood for the fire, knowledge of forest ecosystems. Other skills such as coppicing would be useful, and milling , as we intend to get a sawmill. We are developing products from the woodland, and there is the potential to create an income in this role.
We offer a caravan, healthy vegan food, some instruction in meditation, Qigong, Tai Chi / Martial arts.

We are looking for someone with experience to help us plan and implement a productive food forest, in an old orchard. Ideally this person would be interested in potentially joining us for the longer term.
We would like someone who is into no-dig / natural farming / sintropic agriculture / analog forestry / microbial soil building etc.
We love fruit and wish to increase the number of fruit trees, as well as looking after the old ones we have.
We can offer accommodation in a caravan or small dome (depending on timing), healthy and pure vegan food, instruction in meditation, Qigong / Tai Chi ? Martial arts.... and much more!
Initially this would be an exchange, with potential for income further down the line.

Sometimes we have opportunities for people to come and experience our small community and help out in a variety of ways depending on the season and what needs doing. We are particularly open to those who may be looking to join a project such as ours, but are also open to others.
In exchange we offer a tent or caravan, healthy vegan food, some outings to local events / markets etc, or to the beach. We also offer instruction in meditation, Qigong, tai Chi or martial arts.
