Volunteer Position

Volunteers play a crucial role in the success of the Hutan Subur Conservation Project. As a volunteer, you will be welcomed to our shared volunteer space, which can accommodate up to six volunteers at a time. Our project aims to convert an old rubber tree plantation back to forest, and we invite you to join us in this endeavour by participating in the following activities:

Conservation Tasks

• Planting seeds and growing the future jungle
• Planting trees and bamboo as part of the Conservation Wildlife Biolink Project
• Attracting snakes, monkeys, birds, and other wildlife
• Controlling pests and diseases
• Marking out sections of land for the Sponsor a Rante program
• Emailing people invites to sponsor a tree.

Volunteer Permaculture Tasks

• Helping us grow vegetables in our permaculture garden.
• Beautifying our garden
• Watering and fertilizing any plants that need it.
• Replanting nursery plants as needed.
• Mulching garden beds
• Maintaining the garden to ensure a supply of vegetables for the kitchen.

Volunteer Forestry Tasks

• Pruning dead or diseased branches
• Planting new seeds and plants for the forestry and garden projects
• Pruning trees to encourage bushier growth.

Volunteer Ecolodge Tasks
