The Experience
Our project is a charitable and conservation NPO that preserves land in perpetuity in Quebec in order to transform it into protected areas or nature reserves while allowing, on a maximum of 25% of its territory, ecotourism projects, organic farming, ecological housing as well as environmental education projects based on the principles of sustainable development. The educational component is at the heart of our mission.

Very beautiful and relaxing area, Paul does a good job providing everything you would need. At times the work is not the most coordinated but besides that it was great!

At the project, you contribute to a good project, immersed in nature and surrounded by people. As you're living in the forest, you work in the garden, doing construction work or help finishing different projects. You learn skills like building, gardening, English and/ or french and more. You can spend time with the other volunteers and Paul, as well as Nicole (the two owners) cooking together or sitting at the fire. It's a calm, alternative place in nature to learn all sorts of things and spend a nice couple of days/weeks.

I really enjoyed my time in the project, it was a very lovely place and everyone was so welcoming! I don't speak French but they were very accommodating to speak English at times to make me feel involved. And it was interesting to learn how Paul, Charles and Nicole have made the project self-sufficient and sustainable using different forms to live off the land

Beautiful area, Paul was a great host and a great cook! Had a good time getting to know every one, learning about the native plants, gardening, taking advantage of the lake for swimming. Very peaceful area with very interesting projects coming.
