to be honest they are quite good , and the cost of living is way cheaper than UK.

and there are some beautiful old trees, and loads of tall eucalyptus,

 

we manage to charge 15 Euros an hour for simple jobs and way more for the difficult jobs .

if you had a job just as a cutter/feller you can expect to bring home around €320 a week. with costs paid. ie fuel chains etc etc.

€320 a week is hardly good money. There are school-leavers earning that here. What are rents etc like? Would want be very cheap for that to be considered good money.

in an ideal world yes would love to,but kids etc mean my roots are well and truly here,would love to go and do a few weeks though!a friend who lived in portugal reckoned the money for forestry was really really bad,might have changed though?if youve got lots on Ecodao will happily come n give you a hand for a couple of weeks.

it is very good money when you consider rent is a pittance out here,and property is dirt cheap. and our Yearly council tax is equal to what you would pay for one month,
