Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado
Although our main project is to plant native forest in winter,( against erosion ;balance the water cycle ;to increase natural biodiversity& decrease air pollution),..... there is plenty to do the remaining months of the year: looking after orchard trees ,vegetable gardens; maintenance of the areas around the homestead ;grazing areas & compost .There is the harvesting ,storing & processing of our produce, especially over the summer & autumn months.
Culturally this is an area very influenced from past & present Maori- culture .The North Island East Coast of NZ, is definitely unique in the world.
The way we work with our land & all the living nature ,including people ,we hope is an example of a constructive lifestyle on earth. We hope all visitors can learn something worthwhile to take with them on their life's journey.Ajuda
