Project Update: November 2004

2004 was a great year for our project. Thanks to the RSG we organized 6 two day flora and fauna workshop with the children and professors of rural schools of the Córdoba Mountains and in the future will start reforestation projects with 3 of the schools. We set up several new reforestation experiments with help of biology students and are finishing the reforestation and restoration of a 30 hectare model area. Luis Volkmann, a volunteer of our project is now organising more workshops and researches in the lower Córdoba Mountains with his own RSG. Paula Márcora and Julieta Alinari, both biology students and volunteers of our project are starting a new Polylepis restoration project near Cerro Champaquí in the same mountain range.
