Many of Living Place‘s actions are developed at Villa Maria – Nature Tourism, a 5-hectare rural and forest area in Pampilhosa. It’s a natural space that encompasses the environmental, educational and eco-tourist concepts and that is being subjected to a plan of management and reforestation with native species.
The project also aims to increase the importance of biodiversity in the daily lives of populations, as well as the central and necessary collaboration of all citizens in environmental preservation.
