Sunday the 12th was a very special day for our community at Semillistas: we welcomed twelve young people from the European Solidarity Corps who will accompany us for the next two months in Órgiva! These volunteers are full of energy, eager to learn and above all, with the enthusiasm to make a difference in the reforestation and regeneration of our forests.
On the 10th of January, we took a very important step to move forward with our reforestation projects. We held a special training for all the people we are going to hire to carry out the sowing, a key moment in which we prepared ourselves for one of the most fundamental tasks: sowing with love and knowledge!
At Semillistas, we are excited to announce the launch of our crowdfunding campaign on the Goteo platform. This project is our response to the devastating fire of 2022 that devastated more than 5,000 hectares of the Sierra de los Guájares. But we are not giving up: we want to bring plant life back to this special area
Today we want to share with all of you something that fills us with joy and hope. We are very happy to announce that the company Patagonia has decided to support us for the second consecutive year with a generous contribution of 7,000 dollars to continue with our reforestation project. 🌳💚
At Semillistas, we are always looking for ways to make reforestation more efficient and effective. Today we want to share with you one of our favorite techniques: priming, and how we combine it with pre-germination to overcome some of the biggest challenges in direct seeding.
When we talk about regenerating ecosystems, we usually think of big trees and lush forests. But what about semi-arid or arid areas where climate and soil impose their own rules? This is a subject that we at Semillistas are passionate about, and we would like to share some thoughts on the subject.
We're taking a little break to tell you some exciting things! As some of you already know, we've been busy as ants in summer lately and, in between all this hustle and bustle, we've been preparing something very special: our seeds for the next big sowing!
We have started harvesting acorns in the Pitres area at the beginning of November, and we will go out for several days until the beginning of December.
On 22nd July 2023 we were in Quentar offering the first 2 workshops (Block 2) of the Course on Methodology of direct sowing of acorns for reforestation. In these workshops Daniel Calatayud dealt with aspects such as:
This manual presents a methodology to help Mediterranean restoration projects to find solutions to make possible the direct seeding of acorns with guarantees and success. We also provide our experience
