Pulmón Verde Community Park

Most of the work is done during mornings. Beginning early is required to work in the outdoors, but working inside the nursery can be done at any time of the day.
The schedule is 5 days a week, 6 hours a day, but Saturdays are rotated at some point. If that’s the case, we’ll most likely give two joint days off so the volunteer can travel around the country during rest. Very likely shift starts at 7 am depending on tasks.
Tasks vary upon months and crop cycles, but we will try to program as much as possible and post on a bulletin board (to those interested, please be patient since life in the tropics is not very well structured, and at some point, tasks will change abruptly. My apologies in advance. Just try to go with the flow in the beginning)

Possible tasks for the volunteer:
• Planting and growing organic vegetables which are sold to supermarkets in order to finance the park.
• Manually controlling weeds in the greenhouse.
• Watering plants in the nursery and sowing in the greenhouse.
• Keeping written records of the crops, yielding, damages and general observations for internal purposes, and as back up required by supermarkets.
• Pruning, harvesting and taking care of the trees, climbing trees not required.
• Watering young trees around the park when needed
• Most of the work will be done manually, but every once in a while, handling garden tools will be required.
• Helping to carry heavy objects and move them around the park upon need.
• Very light maintenance like painting walls, cleaning the surface of the greenhouse, picking up leaves, raking the soil, and others related.
• Most of the time the work is done in company of elder citizens.
• Complying with schedules for harvest of fresh produce, sowing and fertilizing. Sorting vegetables upon supermarket requirements. As we are in a very early stage of the project this is not a very common task.
