Overview
Tamar’s goal is to maintain the landscape sustainably by using organic, no-dig, permaculture techniques to grow food. Tasks include woodland and land management, or indoor work for those more inclined. Some tasks include gardening, babysitting/child care, general maintenance, eco-projects, and household chores.
This area of Wales is great for nature lovers, so you’ll be able to discover its beauty on your time off. Spend free time on the 30-acre woodland or go wild swimming in the lake.
