Program Details
We are developing a rural tourism place in Latvia by a peaceful lake, with guesthouses, picnic areas, nature, and a small deer farm with spotted deer. We welcome volunteers who enjoy peaceful surroundings, animals, village life, and practical hands-on help. Our goal is to improve the ranch, guesthouses, outdoor areas, and deer park so more people can discover and enjoy life in nature by the lake.
Activities & Shift
We have a large ranch area with guest houses, outdoor spaces, and some animals. In summer, volunteers mainly help with cleaning guest houses after tourists, keeping the territory tidy, and simple outdoor tasks. In winter, the work is more focused on renovation, repairs, organizing spaces, and improving the houses and surrounding area.
Rules
Please respect the ranch, animals and other people living here. Keep your accommodation and shared spaces clean. Smoking is only allowed outside. Please use our car, equipment and facilities responsibly. We value independence, good communication and a friendly atmosphere. If something is unclear or you need anything, just talk to us.
