We are experiencing the worst f"forest" fires in living  memory here in central Portugal, we are working with the local council , and would like to put out a cry for any one with ideas for help with reforestation , mono culture conversion prevention ect... many have died and over 400square km land has burned sp far ,we are just at the begining of the " fire season " and can expect more , we also need seed and funding to make a difference, we feel that there is an opportunity now to make real change move ,, we at corga da pereira have been working on these issues for years , but now  perhaps someone will listen .we are making a web site now and will post it soon.





all advice, support, ideas , funding welcome   you can contact us direct at  nige4401@aol.com    or www.corgadapereira.wordpress.com
