Permaculture and Agroforestry in Algarve - Portugal

The experience

Improve the soil, diversity and productivity. Tasks:
- plant, and trim drought resistant trees;
- Check/maintain existing drip irrigation system
- Minor build/improvement of facilities for future volunteers
It's a total of 1.6 hectares, but the work is mostly concentrated in a small area. We live here but I have my own business, I'm able to set up/train daily tasks and provide ample feedback.
