Accommodation
We can provide housing in a furnished cabin on one of our preserves. The cabin's amenities include a full kitchen, electricity, WIFI, running water/hot water, 1 bath with shower, and two twin beds. The preserve sits along the snaking St. George river and has 4 miles of trails to explore from the front door. Workers will get a weekly allowance to purchase groceries.
What else ...
With their time off, the area has a lot to offer this time of year. The cabin is in the northern part of our watershed, a short 20 minutes from the coast where there are numerous beaches and quarries to swim, mountains and trails to hike and towns to explore. The local coastal towns of Camden, Rockport, and Rockland have many restaurants, activities and events going on weekly in the summer. It is required for the position that the worker comes with a vehicle as the trails and preserves are spread out amongst 10 different towns. We will offer mileage reimbursement for any driving that is done for our organization.
