Quinta da Moenda - Roots for the future

With the support of the Santa Casa da Misericórdia de Lisboa, through a Fund addressed to those municipalities affected by the forest fires of October 2017, LPN promoted at Quinta da Moenda three actions to training and demonstrate good practices aimed at the recovery and the preservation of the native forest.

More than 60 people attended these training, including landonwers and forest managers, university students and researchers.
