Description
We have a 35 hectare farm on the edge of a lake two hours north of São Paulo.
A re-forestation project was completed four years ago and 50,000 native Mata Atlantica trees are now 3-4 meters high.
We are also a registered centre with the Governor of São Paulo to receive,monitor and release wild birds and animals which have been sold in clandestine markets.
The farm is 12 km from Joanópolis a small town with around 10,000 inhabitants.
There is free transport to and from São Paulo every weekend.
