The first result of our collaboration with Land Life Company can be found in Tarilonte de la Peña, in the Spanish region of Castillo y Léon. It’s an area that which had been intensively grazed by sheep. As a result, the soil was completely destroyed. Nowadays, almost nothing grows at there.
When working the land in this agricultural region was no longer an option, employment opportunities soon evaporated and hence many people left the area. The erosion proved to be a disaster, not only in an ecological sense, but also with regards to the local economy and the community’s social fabric.
In order to give Tarilonte and its surroundings a new lease of life, Land Life Company aims to plant a total of 40,800 trees, on 68 acres and in 13 different varieties with the financial support of Faber Halbertsma Group.
