 Ask the hosts in north of Sweden! Just make sure that you have the right qualifications, insurance, etc. Its not working in an office for sure! But I guess you know all about it already..

Good luck!
Contact me if there are any new projects/events or festivals coming up, I love new challenges and meeting new people!

 Hello Veaz,

On Ramshyttan Horse farm, about midway between Stockholm and Gothenburg, we need to do a lot of forest work. We have to fell many dead trees and collect many fallen trees. We also need to thin out patches of forest. All this timber needs to be taken out of the forest, sawn and cleaved and stacked to dry out. We heat two cottages, an apartment and a hunter's lodge with firewood. We are training one of out Friesian horses to pull logs out of the forest.
Well, there is a lot to do. Contact me if you are interested in wwoofing here.
With best regards,
Roland
