Hi Michael,
Welcome to Portugal!
We need more liked minded people and a diversity of cultures to help to shift the paradigm on this land
I have a couple of close friends living in Figueira da Foz, I will notice them your contact through your post here.
Meanwhile, you are very welcome to come and visit the project that I collaborate in Águeda near the city of Aveiro.
We are co-creating a woodland with native species, in areas of valleys and a stream. We have a volunteer event this Saturday and next one a guided tour.
You are very welcome to join, in case of any questions, I will try to help.
This is our blogue

Thank you
All the best
Take care
Jorge
