Program Details
Experience regeneration in practice!
The Sinal do Vale is an environmental regeneration biohub recognized by the UN, located on a 200-hectare Atlantic Forest campus in the Xerém region of Rio de Janeiro.
We develop initiatives focused on ecosystem regeneration, biodiversity conservation, social innovation, and building solutions for a more sustainable future.
One of these initiatives is our Atlantic Forest native seedling nursery, which supports actions for forest restoration and biodiversity conservation.
We are seeking someone to collaborate with the nursery's daily routine and to learn, in practice, the different stages of seedling production. It is an opportunity to put your hands in the soil, learn about native species, and directly contribute to the regeneration of the forest.
We are looking for curious, responsible people who are willing to learn and who enjoy practical outdoor activities.
