Hello Everyone,

🎥 A new episode is coming very soon!
📅 YouTube Premiere: (DATE)

Watch it NOW on our Patreon 💚
Our Patrons receive early access to new episodes, watch in 4K quality, and enjoy an ad-free viewing experience while directly supporting our restoration and regeneration work in the mountains of central Portugal.

Hidden in the mountains of Serra da Lousã lies Silveira de Baixo, an abandoned schist village where nature has slowly reclaimed the homes, paths, and stories of those who once lived there.

Join Manuel on a journey through this abandoned village in our upcoming episode and discover how people lived, why they left, and what knowledge still survives within these stone walls.

Because before we can restore this village, we first need to understand its past.

Hello everyone!

The new episode is coming tomorrow (June 3), and we’re really excited to share this one with you.

It marks a huge milestone for us, and maybe for regeneration in Portugal too: the end of our first drone seeding season… or perhaps the beginning of something much bigger.

At first, we brought in the seeding drone as a crisis response after the fire. But very quickly, the purpose of this tool started to change.

In Episode 29, we race against the rain and an invasive species already emerging from the ashes, spreading 2,800 kg of seed across 120 hectares while asking one big question:

Can drone seeding change what grows back after fire?

💬 Join us live during the premiere. We’ll be in the chat answering your questions and chatting with all of you.

Can’t wait until tomorrow? Watch it now on Patreon!
Our Patrons get early access to our vlogs in 4K quality and ad-free.

🌱 Patrons help us fund the follow-up: boots on the ground, returning to these 120 hectares season after season to monitor what worked and what the land needs next. Join us on Patreon to be part of it. 🥾✨

Massive projects only work with the right systems in place. 🤓

Our basecamp was never perfect… but after the wildfire, it stopped working completely. Chaos, scattered tools, and constant improvisation were slowing down everything.

So we rebuilt it. Properly this time.
But this is more than a rebuild. It’s the foundation for what comes next.

Hello everyone,

After the wildfire burned through our land, one of our basecamp containers was completely destroyed. But once we cleared it out, we realised something bigger: we needed better systems to support our 230-hectare reforestation project.

This Sunday, watch us transform that burned container into a brand new carpentry workshop and begin a whole new chapter for our basecamp.

The new episode premieres March 1st.

This Sunday, November 16, we got something special to you!

We are launching the Raiz (Roots) documentary, directed by Carolina Ramos Cardoso as part of her Bachelor in Studio M, Toulouse. Drawn to the work taking place at Silveira Tech and the values behind it, Carolina spent several days filming our daily routines and collective efforts to regenerate the land.

From the creator / director:
"After years of destruction, the forests of Serra da Lousã struggle to come back to life. At Silveira Tech, men and women plant, clear, carry, and protect what remains, never knowing if it will be enough. Every gesture counts. Every sprout carries both hope and risk.

Their work is woven into daily life: shared meals, conversations, laughter, moments of doubt. Action shapes those who take it, giving weight and meaning to even the smallest acts.

Raiz tells the story of this fragile yet determined reconstruction. Restoring the forest becomes a way of restoring oneself. Each tree planted, each gesture, each breath is an act of resistance and hope. In these modest, repeated efforts, a burned world slowly awakens, carried by the persistence and humanity of those who refuse to give up."

No narration — just the rhythm of real people rebuilding connection with the land.

Thank you Carolina for making it possible for us to share stories like this! 💚

🎬 Full documentary coming this Sunday! If you want to be the first one to see become a Patron and watch the exclusive Early Releases while helping us reforest this mountains.
