CaminoWays.com are pleased to announce Mossy Earth as the recipients of the Greenlife Fund. Sticking with our commitment to sustainable and inspirational projects we are thrilled to be supporting the Native Oak Reforestation project in Northern Portugal.
Following the devastating wildfires in Portugal earlier this year this is just the type of project assist with our fund. For this inspiring project we aim to support the reforestation of areas affected by the wild fires that have destroyed vegetation and wildlife habitats in regions surrounding the Camino routes.
This year alone the Portuguese wildfires are understood to have been responsible for over 100 deaths and countless destruction of the beautiful landscapes across Northern Portugal. The fires destroyed about 29,000 hectares of land and the hope is that we can all help to prevent such devastating events in the future.
To start this initiative we have planted one tree per staff member in Northern Portugal where Mossy Earth have secured a site. We are inviting Camino walkers from around the world to support this fantastic project. For every tree bought Mossy Earth will provide exclusive GPS coordinates of the area where the trees are planted and regular updates on the forest.
PLANT A TREE IN THE CAMINO FOREST
Now as part of any of our most popular tours you can add-on a tree to help with the Mossy Earth reforestation project in Northern Portugal. Each tree costs €12.00 and can be added on to the Camino Frances and the Camino Portugues tours.
The Greenlife Fund is part of our commitment to sustainable and responsible travel. One of the objectives of the fund is to support projects that help protect the unique environments around the tours that we operate.
