Earlier this month we began preparing seedlings to begin reforestation work when the rains come next month. We made 600 native species seedlings that are pioneer species, and will receive another 400 seedlings as donation from the State Institute of Environmental Education, a long time partner of ours.
Focusing on the periphery of our springs, we continue to enrich the 50 meter radius around one of the springs that is coming back in a previously depleted area.
Like every year, we will recruit students and volunteers that come through SINAL, from the local community, Rio and internationally, to help us plant the trees. Having done the first intervention last year, it is a good example to show our guests how the transition from a depleted soil to a restored ecosystem takes time and care!
