VOLUNTEER
Work in the cloud forest — not just for it.
Join our field team in Ecuador. No experience needed — just motivation and a willingness to get your hands dirty.
THE WORK
What you'll actually do.
Nursery work
Repotting seedlings, labelling batches, watering schedules — the unglamorous but essential backbone of the operation.
Planting days
Hillside planting with local partner farmers. Physical, outdoor work in a tropical cloud forest — gloves provided.
Data collection
Mobile app, height measurements, GPS logging, and field photography. No technical background required — we train on-site.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Practical details.
BASE
Baeza, Napo Province
Small town in the Quijos Valley; local hostals and guesthouses available.
