What we do

The Elphinstone Forest Protection Camp was formed as a project to protect the old growth forests on the Sunshine Coast that surround Mt. Elphinstone. Now we are developing the camp into a small community for people interested in living more sustainably and off the land. We are looking for individuals interested in joining the camp and helping us build our capacity and amount of people. At this point we have had many visitors but are looking for permanent members! Come check out the camp and see what you think.
As this is a relatively new community we have lots of projects that we need help with including designing and planting a permaculture food forest, building non-permanent structures like tiny homes or platforms for camping, as well as beautifying the camp to make it more homey!
Join and bring forward any skills you have to offer.
Help needed this summer:
– Teaching permaculture and food forest growing techniques, as well as helping with design
– Planting/sewing seed to provide the group with food
– Cooking meals for the group
– Building temporary structures and/or tiny homes
– Creating banners and signage that are aesthetically pleasing

Social Media Intern for GEN International Hours: Up to 20/month, flexible around your schedule and availability Location: Remote, work with Eva Goldfarb Focus: Instagram + LinkedIn (TikTok if you’re into it!) Hi! I’m Eva, and I run social media for GEN International — the global network connecting ecovillages, intentional communities, and regenerative culture-builders across every continent. I’m looking for a co-conspirator to help me tell the stories of the people quietly building the future: off-grid villages in the Philippines, permaculture farms in Senegal, urban cohousing projects in Berlin, elders passing down land wisdom in the Andes. It’s a wildly rich, wildly underrepresented world, and I want more people to fall in love with it the way I have. What you’ll actually do: Dream up and create content for Instagram and LinkedIn (reels, carousels, stories, captions that don’t sound like a corporate newsletter) Dig into our global network and turn your findings into stories people want to share Pitch your own ideas. If there’s a series, a theme, a format, or a corner of the network that lights you up, that’s what I want you to focus on. What we’re looking for: A natural storyteller, someone who can spot the human thread in a project update or a photo from a faraway village Genuinely curious about ecovillages, sustainability, intentional community, regenerative living Self-motivated and communicative; this is a flexible, trust-based role Why this role: This isn’t a “post 3x a week and don’t ask questions” internship. You’ll have real creative freedom to work on what excites you, learn how a global grassroots network tells its story, and build a portfolio full of meaningful, purpose-driven content. Plus you’ll be talking to people living some of the most interesting, intentional lives on the planet. If storytelling for a better world sounds like your kind of fun, let’s talk.
