We are a rural Guatemalan community organisation dedicated to restoration of the Mayan jungle, permaculture principles, local engagement and education, regenerative agroforestry, and sustainable living in harmony with nature.
Our main project site is 2.5 hectares of degraded land near the village of Paxcaman (Peten, Guatemala). We are restoring the area by planting a diverse food forest with agroforestry trees (cacao, ramon, papaya, etc), medicinal herbs, spices, legumes and nutritious vegetables. A biodiverse mix of forest trees, palms and flowers are also being planted to encourage insects and birdlife. We use ancestral practices, organic methods, culturally significant species and permaculture design. We are building an ecological school on the site using traditional bioconstruction techniques with locally sourced, eco-friendly materials. The school will be a space for permaculture focussed learning, community groups, and school visits. We are also creating a tree nursery grown from locally collected seeds and an aquaculture system with tilapia, to provide supplies of native agroforestry seedlings and fish for local families.
Beyond the project site, we run outreach activities, such as nature restoration community events and providing technical support for farmers to transition to permaculture practices. We also host international volunteers and partner with organisations locally and overseas.
