    Description

    We are couple who just moved to Patagania. We are Migle, from Lithuania and Pablo, from Chile and we are trying to set up a sustainable, off-grid, forest living here in the Patanogian native forest.
    We are currently constructing out house/workshop and our some of our next project include a construction of a cabin to rent for people to come here and experience the simple life in Patagonian forest, greenhouse construction and set up of a small veg farm, cleaning dead trees and other forestry management task to prevent forest fire spreads, planting native trees where possible and fencing the property to prevent illegal logging.
