We call it VolunTREEadventure!!
Hurricane Maria’s Category 4 winds devastated the project in 2017, followed by Hurricane Fiona’s rainfall in 2022. Landslide mitigation becomes a strong element of the critical work that lies ahead.
The arrival of volunteers to help with all tasks is very much appreciated. In 2020, earthquakes and Covid-19 took away our regular annual groups of volunteers and individual volunteers and have left us really short-handed on multiple projects. If you are ready, willing, and able, please get in touch, and explore the prospect of spending a few days, or weeks with us.
For nearly forty years, Las Casas de la Selva has hosted volunteers from all over the planet, involved in the total operations & management of Las Casas, carrying out particular tasks, or assisting us with scientific research projects.
Tropic Ventures Sustainable Forestry Project relies on the work of dedicated volunteers. Most all accomplishments here are the result of the vision and resourcefulness of volunteers and researchers. If you are ready for a life challenge, interested in your personal development, and feel that you have valuable skills and proficiency, or perhaps would like to learn how to do something, hold a genuine love of the natural world, trees, and forestry in all its nuances, and want to live with other people to experience life in this biome, please contact us. We welcome you to participate in the project’s total system as a volunteer. Contact us, we are very open. Please take the time to peruse the information on what to expect, and what we expect from you.
Individuals of any age, over 18, interested in volunteering, are invited to apply. The cost is $25.00 per day which covers all your food and accommodation. Returning volunteers are most welcome.
