About Siciliamia and the Permaculture Internship 

Siciliamia is an internationally diverse startup based in southern Sicily.  We focus on permaculture, villa rentals and gastronomy that enhance Sicily’s social, economic, and ecological well-being.

Siciliamia is looking for a permaculture intern to help us monitor and develop an 18-hectare permaculture property, overlooking Ragusa, a UNESCO World Heritage site.  Our project is in an early stage of development and is an excellent opportunity for those interested in getting in at the ground level.  We welcome anyone with a background in permaculture, ecology, botany, horticulture and/or related areas, and a commitment to ecosystem health and restoration. This is a 4-9 months internship based out of Ragusa, Sicily. Please see below for further information.

Job description
      
      1. Establish ecosystem baseline by cataloging site flora and fauna as well as the qualities of desired plants
          (growth speed, seeding capacity, etc).
    
      2. Monitor and record ecosystem changes over time through:
            o Careful, periodic observations of flora and fauna health and climatic data; and
            o Conducting soil health metrics, such as water infiltration and percolation tests, basal
              ground cover, etc.

      3. Participate in site design planning by:
            o Researching native plant communities; and
            o Sharing your observations of the land and experiments we undertake, as well as your
            ideas and suggestions based on how the site is evolving.

      4. Support on-ground development of the site by:
            o Helping establish critical supply sources. Work may include reaching out to, visiting suppliers for, and             securing seeds, plants, composts, and other supplies and equipment as needed; collecting native seeds; and             developing compost and trial nursery;
            o Helping implement windbreaks, food and timber forest, and agricultural plant communities, as time             permits.
            o Monitoring and caring for any implementation undertaken.

      5. Carry out other project duties as needed (due to the nature of the work, we cannot predict all
            project needs in advance).

This internship will take place in Ragusa and the length is 4-9 months and starts in August 2024
