A MIRACLE STORY
What happened?
Two years ago, our association tried to protect this valley from being sold to a company that would harm the land and its waters.
Thanks to unexpected twists, long bureaucratic delays, and a heartfelt conversation, the owners changed their minds and canceled the sale.
Then, in a serendipitous moment, we met a woman who had wanted to support us years earlier — and she decided to gift us all the funds needed to buy the valley.
This was only the beginning of a new big adventure.
Now, we plan to restore this ancient landscape: planting trees, creating water bodies, increasing biodiversity, and building a place where people and nature can thrive together.
The old stables will be transformed into an experience centre where young people will be able to learn about natural farming and develop their own (artistic) projects.
So much work to be done. Follow us while we make this happen!
