What do we do?
Education
We are a space for re-learning where theancestral wisdomand thetradesthey are once again taking centre stage. At the Quebrada del Palmar Nature Reserve, we welcome schools and adults to remember what a healthy relationship with nature means, sharing the roots of a possible future in harmony with the Earth.
Conservation
We actively protect341 hectares of native forestin the central sierras of San Luis. As guardians of thisAndean Condor Sanctuary, we have started a project with Patagonia: the construction of aBiological Stationto conduct censuses, monitoring, and care tasks for this emblematic species of the Andes. We care for an ecosystem of Serrano Chaco with high conservation values.
Community
We understand that the regeneration of the forest is inseparable from thesocial regeneration. We are a mutual support network that rescues the culture of encounter and human values in the face of the system's haste. By recovering trades, arts, and shared rhythms, we transform individual well-being into acollective forcecapable of caring for life and honouring our common history.
