Serra da Beleza prior to a recent devastating fire. Santo Adolfo lies in the Valley just one km from Serra da Beleza.



Emater Rio has designated three areas for the forest restoration project at Santo Adolfo with colour codes from a Google map outlining each one. The entire layout of the project is also illustrated here with the list of trees, their quantities, latin and vulgar names.

Area 1 (yellow) Sistema Agroflorestal - Agro Restoration

Area on the pasture that lies on the left hand side of the entrance of the farm and goes up towards the existing Forest area on top of the mountain. Our plan is to replant the forest in stages until the two areas meet. Here is where we will have trails for future visitors to the farm with an educational aspect to the trees, wildlife and habitat.

Area 2 (orange) Bananeiral - Banana plantation Musa SP 'Banana Prata'

Along the marsh area between the farm managers cottage and another charming farm cottage.

Area 3 (red) Pomar Agroflorestal - Tropical Orchard
