Quinta das Relações: Regenerating Rural Portugal
We are Quinta das Relvas Association—a grassroots collective transforming a rural Portuguese farm into a thriving ecological and cultural hub. Surrounded by eucalyptus plantations, our land has become a biodiversity sanctuary, offering workshops, artistic residencies, and educational programs that reconnect people with nature and sustainable living.
But we're thinking bigger.
Our vision extends beyond the farm to revitalize the entire region. We're targeting the vulnerable hillside overlooking our village—currently scarred by erosion, wildfires, and biodiversity loss. Through native reforestation, water restoration systems, and regenerative practices, we'll create a resilient landscape that protects both community and ecosystems.
Your support funds land restoration, native reforestation, water infrastructure, and hands-on educational activities where local and international participants learn regenerative land management firsthand. This is more than ecological restoration—it's a living demonstration of community-led transition and collective stewardship.
Despite powerful industrial forestry interests and rural abandonment, we're proving another way is possible. One built on biodiversity, cooperation, and care for future generations.
Join us in regenerating the land.
