The Juthour eco-project in Ramallah, Palestine, is a mountain-top eco-park and registered non-profit initiative founded in 2013 on 10 dunnams (1 hectare) of land in Area C of the West Bank. The project is run by co-founders Saleh and Morgan, who emphasize resilience ("sumud") in the face of the challenges posed by Israel's military occupation, including restrictions on building and land use. The eco-park serves as a center for environmental education, cultural preservation, and community activism, focusing on reconnecting people with Palestinian heritage through the names of native plants and trees, traditional stone terraces, and the significance of the olive tree.

volunteers are invited to help with a variety of tasks, including gardening, building and DIY projects, general maintenance, farmstay support, and data collection.

The work involves a daily 15-minute hike up a steep hill to the site, and volunteers are encouraged to bring layered clothing, good shoes, gloves, and sunscreen due to the variable mountain climate. Accommodation is provided in tents or caves, with foam mattresses and blankets, and includes access to a fire pit, a solar shower, a dry compost outhouse, and a basic outdoor kitchen where volunteers prepare their own meals. The project also offers opportunities for cultural exchange, language learning (Arabic and Spanish), and deep engagement with Palestinian stories and traditions tied to the land.

The project is located near Ein Qinya village, just a ten-minute drive from Ramallah’s city center, offering access to urban amenities while maintaining a rural, natural setting. Volunteers have described the experience as life-altering, with a strong sense of community and connection to the land and its people. The project is recognized for its commitment to sustainability and cultural resilience, and it continues to serve as a space for ecological learning and activism despite the ongoing political challenges.
