The Center for Amazon Community Ecology is a non-profit organization that helps native artisans from the Peruvian Amazon to develop and market innovative handicrafts to create a sustainable livelihood. We also return 20% of our net craft sales to support health, education and conservation needs in their communities.
We have a great opportunity to sell a wide range of these crafts at the Great Blue Heron Music Festival in Sherman, NY from July 1-3.
We need several enthusiastic volunteers to help to set-up our booth and crafts on Thursday, June 30, sell crafts during the festival, and take down our booth at the end of the festival on Sunday night, July 3. We can give a festival pass for one or two people who commit a significant amount of time to helping. Priority will be given to volunteers who will be available to help us with set-up on Thursday afternoon and/or take-down on Sunday night.
Thursday, June 30: 1 pm - 5 pm. Set up the tent, booth, and crafts at the CACE site at the festival site.

Mission Statement
The mission of the Center for Amazon Community Ecology is to promote the understanding, conservation and sustainable development of human and other biological communities in the Amazon region. Our three strategies are research, community support and education. One of our main goals is to study the ecology and develop the sustainable harvest and marketing of non-timber forest products such as fruits, fibers, resins, and oils. We also work with indigenous and other forest peoples to sustain local resources and support their communities.
Description
The main strategies for achieving our goals are research, community support, and education. This will include investigating the ecology and sustainable harvest of non-timber forest products (like resins, fruits and fibers) and assisting indigenous and other forest-based communities to manage and market them to support local development and conservation. This will require reaching out to and connecting many people and communities in the Amazon and abroad. CACE is a member of the Fair Trade Federation.
