Forest Project: January 2022- Awakeland Work Exchange Application Form
Thank you for your interest in contributing to Awakeland's Reforestation & Land Rehabilitation project.

We are in the next stage of our winter project, starting again on 3rd January 2022.

This project is designed for tree caretakers and nature lovers who are not afraid of hard work! As we reach the fifth consecutive winter of our reforestation effort, we are now finally entering the last unexplored piece of land in our project, after two years of land preparation - which included landscape intervention to implement a water retention design, the removal of the eucalyptus, and a soil regeneration process through green seeding complemented with the introduction of mycorrhizae - this autumn/winter we feel its time to start replanting this lovely 5 hectare corner of Awakeland.  Our goal is to plant 8000 indigenous or highly resilient trees, namely cork oaks, pines and strawberry trees, ensuring they have the conditions to survive and prosper with very little maintenance and further support from our side - our pioneers, our warrior trees so to speak...

To confirm your place we require one payment of €50, paid in advance, this is to help us cover food and costs, as it is a non-profit project. After the 1st week, we will review and if you want to stay on for another week or more, this may be possible

In exchange we request 6 hours of work, 5 days a week.

We offer 3 vegan meals a day, and the opportunity to learn about reforestation and land rehabilitation using bio-dynamic and permaculture principles.

From May, please note you need to bring your own tent.

We have a group room where we can share meditations, yoga, breathwork etc

Working hours:
9am - 4pm
1-2pm - lunch
+ regular group cleaning of communal spaces.

What to bring:
Clothes for warm and cold weather
Waterproof clothes for rainy days
Warm bedding, a warm sleeping bag and pillow (nights can be cold in the Monchique area).
Waterproof Boots to work on the land, with firm sole
Tough gardening gloves
Tent, sleeping equipment
Sunblock, hat, for sunny days
Eco body products, eco toothpaste etc...

All these things will make your experience here much more comfortable!

Please note
Our showers and toilets are ecological. The water from the showers goes straight into our land and trees, into the fruits they bear, so please do not use chemical products in the showers or toilets, please bring only eco products.

Please complete the form as best as you can and we will get back to you asap. Spaces are limited.

Unfortunately we cannot accept children or pets.

If you have any questions please email joinus@awakeland.pt

Hope to plant trees with you soon :)

Thank you!

With Love
The Awakeland Team
