Planet Drum Foundation is seeking volunteers for its Ecological City projects in Bahia de Caraquez, Ecuador for durations of one month to three months or longer. The projects are year-round, and we are always looking for help in furthering our bioregional mission.
- Work with our unique revegetation project, planting and maintaining native plants to reduce erosion and create habitats for birds and other animals.
- Join neighborhood efforts to learn and use ecological practices.
- Assist bioregional environmental education groups for children and adults (May-July).
A background in environmental work and or studies, previous travel-abroad experience, Spanish language speaking ability, and cooperative living experience are desirable. However, willing hands and a desire to help restore our damaged biosphere are most important.

Benefits include (almost) free accommodation in a large shared apartment, extraordinary beach and wilderness recreational activities, opportunities to improve Spanish skills, and a unique experience of tropical Ecuadorian culture.
