We are looking for artists to help with murals, sculptures and foraging guides. Our work regenerating the forest will include building some bird/bat houses, clearing invasive species and making paths & stairs.

We are designing sustainable ways to live including composting toilets, rainwater collection and solar energy production.

We try to vary the work to suit everyone and give you more variety throughout your stay.

On Sundays we all clean the house together.
We require our volunteers to manage their own time to ensure they are doing 25hrs of work a week.
