Im really proud that I could be part of a great cause
December 01, 2023by: AndiI helped with agriforestry and worked on the farms, helped the education program in showing kids iracambi and presenting to them, helped in the nursery and planting seedlings, and then researched for my project. Im really proud that i could be part of a great cause. I always wanted to be part of something like this and i have learned so much about reforestation. I enjoyed being part of the nature and learning about how the forest operates and its relationships but I didn't enjoy all the spiders i found in my room.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does planting trees help with water shortages in the area?
The presence of trees on the mountain sides breaks up the rainfall, allowing water to infiltrate the soil and replenish the water table. They also prevent soil erosion, lessen runoff, and play an important role in evapotranspiration.
Do I need to know Portuguese?
No, it will not be necessary for your work. Although, there’ll be opportunities to interact with local communities where basic Portuguese will come in handy.
What do I need to pack?
Essential tools and equipment will be found at the center. Your main priority should be durable, weather-appropriate clothing and work gear (boots, gloves, etc.).
