We are world renowned for our geodesic domes and 9 tree houses, which were built and have been sustained entirely by volunteers.
The Hostel is the remarkable place that it is because of the people that give so tirelessy to it’s day-to-day operation. The people who work and live at the Hostel provide the energy that makes it tick. In addition, many people have worked on our work exchange program and contributed to the many daily chores as well as special projects.
Volunteer staff members are chosen by the management team, in person on an as needed basis. We typically have 6 staff members with an occasional temporary work exchange position.
The area is unique in every way, with lush, dense sub-tropical forests containing palms, saw palmettos, magnolia, cedar, holly, pine, and myrtle. Huge live oaks draped with moss contrast with the broadleaf evergreens that are the dominant trees of the forest. Well over three hundred species of birds visit this coastal region annually and dozens of species of reptile and amphibian make this their home. Contrasting the forests and the coastal savannahs are the wetlands and swamps where alligators, river otters and wading birds are prolific.
