You will assist with a mix of community service projects, regenerative agriculture, and forest restoration through this volunteer program. Regenerative agriculture is transforming the farming practices of the local families involved in the project. Your assistance with this project has a significant impact on the local wildlife and flora.
Volunteers for this project put in four to six hours a day, with the weekends off. After that, you have the option to unwind, engage in independent activities, or join one of the project's excursions (water sports, snorkeling, diving, swimming, hiking, horseback riding, etc.).
Reforestation: The group in charge of reestablishing the regional ecology engages in the following tasks:
Building perches for birds to aid in seed dispersal; planting specific plants that serve to attract pollinator insects; laboring in the tree nursery, planting trees; gathering seeds and planting seedlings; installing camera traps to track wildlife activity
Organic regenerative agriculture: Every day, the organic farming crew transforms both the land and lives. Local families are able to use their resources more sustainably thanks to regenerative agriculture. Building beds and getting them ready for seeding; creating compost and creating organic fertilizers; distributing microorganisms; and dealing with aromatic and medicinal plants
Work in the Community: Bahía Drake is a remote community with a lot of social and educational needs. The community work team wants to encourage sports, education, and cultural events for kids, teens, and adults. Encouraging programs for both boys and girls; Art, Sports, and Craft workshops; Children's environmental education; and Participating in the beautification of public spaces
In Costa Rica the sun is out very early and so are the people. Work usually starts early at about 7:30 a.m. after a hearty breakfast. At around noon volunteers have lunch time with a short siesta time to rest. The afternoon shift goes approximately from 2 p.m. to approx. 4:30 p.m. We would like to highlight that the work schedule can vary and the times mentioned are not fixed work shifts.
Note: There may be variations in the tasks. The quantity of volunteers, the climate, the time of year, the project's present requirements, and self-motivation are some of the variables that affect them. Maybe not every volunteer will take on all of these responsibilities.
