The land had a forest of oaks and river trees. The property had been abandoned for over 30 years, which meant the forest was fairly well preserved. We cut down eucalyptus trees as well as a few other trees. Planting of new species started in 2011. At the same time we worked in the rehabilitation of agricultural structures that had collapsed or been recalled by the wilderness: dry stone paths and walls, mills and stone huts; we introduced two granaries and built a shelter for sheep. All this in the respect of traditional construction techniques and materials, using masons from the local community. The land has gradually expanded thanks to the acquisition of the adjoining plots and currently has an area of fifteen hectares.<\/p>\n
We are two Galician biologists who, after 45 years living abroad working in International Organizations and in the European Union, decided to dedicate our efforts to an initiative to protect a natural area in Galicia for educational purposes. Family and friends joined this project.<\/p>\n
\u00a0 The project was born out of the strong will of the family that started it and would not have grown as it did without the efforts friends, family and neighbours who made it their own: Mart\u00edn, Carlos, Teresa and the Castro Gonz\u00e1lez family; Elena L\u00f3pez; professionals and artisans from the area (Jos\u00e9 Luis L\u00f3pez, Canteiros Hermanos Quijada, etc.). They have all contributed tremendously, some still do, by bringing their knowledge and passion into the project. Many have worked tirelessly for years to rehabilitate this place that, in some of their cases, has seen them grow. The Arboretum de Galicia also belongs to them.<\/strong>.<\/p>\n C\u00e9sar & Bego\u00f1a<\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=\u00bb1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=\u00bb4.9.7″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb custom_padding=\u00bb16px|||||\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb theme_builder_area=\u00bbpost_content\u00bb][et_pb_column type=\u00bb1_2″ _builder_version=\u00bb4.9.7″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb theme_builder_area=\u00bbpost_content\u00bb][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.9.7″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb header_3_font_size=\u00bb24px\u00bb custom_margin=\u00bb||||false|false\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb theme_builder_area=\u00bbpost_content\u00bb]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=\u00bb4.9.7″ _module_preset=\u00bbdefault\u00bb global_colors_info=\u00bb{}\u00bb theme_builder_area=\u00bbpost_content\u00bb]<\/p>\n After ten years of work and planting, the collections are consolidating while new non-invasive trees and shrubs are introduced.
