Current work October 2015

At this moment (October 2015) Marko can be found building the most beautiful forest house. Marko and David (brother, friend and talented builder) are currently putting on walls and figuring out windows at a pace so that we can host volunteers as soon as possible in 2016.
I can be found supporting the building process and writing and publishing this website (with help from our friend Helder Luis) so that we can get out there and hopefully inspire people with our vision of a sustainable forestry and a more evolved way to relate to Nature, ourselves and each other.
If you are inspired by our work please get in touch, sign up for our newsletter and if you have any funds to spare consider supporting our plan to buy more monocultured land to regenerate into the abundant forest the land here wants to grow. If you don't have money to spare but would like to support us in another way we would also love to hear from you.
