Welcome to Silveira Tech Re-generation Village, where we aim to reforest and regenerate more than 200 hectares of our mountain in Serra da Lousã, Portugal.
We're documenting every step of our path towards ecological restoration, regenerative agriculture, and the revitalization of 2 ancient abandoned villages on our land.
This is real-life regeneration – messy, beautiful, and unpredictable! Shot entirely on-site with love, mud, and purpose!

Hi everyone!
A new episode is coming this Sunday. Watch the early release on our Patreon! 👀
The wildfire may be gone, but the danger isn’t. Collapsing burnt trees, landslides, erosion, and thousands of invasive seeds waking at once… and then an unexpected twist:
A new kind of Spring bursting through the ash. 🌱
Oaks sprouting again, green returning where we thought everything was lost.

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.

Facing decades of erosion and neglect, we’re transforming invasive monocultures into thriving ecosystems
From barren land to a living agroforest, it’s been a journey of growth, learning, and unexpected turns. A chapter that reminds us why we began, and how nature always has the last word.
This is more than a story of planting trees — it’s a story of resilience, rebirth, and the land’s will to live.

Thank you for standing with us — every bit of support makes regeneration possible. 💚
After days of clearing the road, we finally reached our basecamp in Serra da Lousã. What we found was both a relief and a heartbreak — the camp itself survived, but the land tells a different story.
This is Part 2 of our wildfire recovery series.

Fire Did Not Break Our Spirit ❤️🩹
On August 14th, at the peak of a brutal heatwave, a massive fire swept through the mountains of Lousã. Despite all our prevention work, 95% of our land was burned — only our infrastructure survived. The fire came too soon for our regeneration efforts to fully take hold, but even so, they helped soften the impact.
From the beginning, we knew the risks. This devastation is the legacy of decades of abandonment, mismanagement, and flammable monocultures. But we also know the solutions — and standing now in the ashes, our determination is stronger than ever. We will restore balance through regeneration. 🌱
