Location of the viveiro.
Our latest long-term project is a dedicated viveiro (nursery), set up to propagate seeds of a selection of species from the Atlantic Forest and other regions of Brazil. The structure for the first area of the viveiro is now ready.
Our environmental partners Emater Rio and Conexão Mata Atlântica are in touch with various government NGOs to source and secure the supply of seeds for our project. These cannot be donated to us direct, only through our environmental partners.
The objectives and technical outline for our Rare Species Project are available
here.
We welcome environmental partners nationally and internationally to collaborate with our project.
Here is an initial list of the seeds we are purchasing from Atlantic Forest trees that include a number of rare species.
João Pedro Machado, biologist and Marcia Lage will select specific ones for propagation in our Viveiro - Nursery, others will be planted directly in various pastures as part of our reforestation project using the “ muvuca “ technique.

Suggested additional wish list to be discussed with our environmental partners. We will make a final decision with their expertise in order to select a number of species to propagate in our viveiro and others in “ muvucas “ directly on various areas of the pasture.
All the native flowering and fruit trees we have selected are not only stunning to look at but also attract a myriad of wildlife.
