About Siciliamia and the Permaculture Internship
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.

(growth speed, seeding capacity, etc).

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.

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.

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
