LIBENLIHA VENTURE

Libelinha Venture was purchased in May 2017 and the wildfires that devastated the area happened in June of the same year. This started an Eco-restoration project increasing the size of the land from 4 hectares to 15 hectares.

​

In October 2019 3.5 hectares of land that the fires had passed through were cleared with the implementation of reverse terraces to assist with water penetration into the ground.

​

In November a team of 8 people planted 3000 Oak and Cork Oak seeds on the slopes between the terraces, 10% of which have germinated and survived the first year.

​

In the summer of 2020 the process of regenerating the top soil was started in preparation to plant the syntropic lines in the winter of 2020 & 2021.
