Anyone wishing to explore or be involved in ecosystem restoration can participate, whether you are a curious beginner, have some previous experience, or have been doing regeneration work for years. Everyone is welcome. This program is open to locals and visitors to the area alike.

It takes place at Quinta Vale da Lama every Tuesday from 10am to 1pm. Each session is planned and facilitated by Hugo Oliveira, Landscape Ecologist and Permaculture Designer.
