    Description

    Hello! My name is Cristina and I live in a small village in Monferrato (Piedmont), among hills and woods. I'm a teacher and I'm fond of nature and permaculture. Three years ago I bought a piece of land with woods and a little house where together with Stephane, some friends and some families of the area, we are creating a food forest and an outdoor education community in the woods,.
    We have already made a greenhouse with recycled windows, a little lake to support biodiversity and a vegetable garden. We also planted some fruit trees and a lot of rasberry plants.
    We need help to work on different projects: go on with the work of restoring a yurt for indoor activities (and for the forest school we would like to open next September), an earth oven to make bread and pizza, a system to collect water, possibly install solar panels, and continue the project of outdoor education for children with art/music/DIY labs.
    If you feel like helping us, we are waiting for you!
