Minga After The San Jose Fire 2

 in Uncategorized by

"Mingas" are a tradition throughout South America. They are community work parties, and many things get done with mingas.

Here some friends from the Vilcabamba international commuity are responding to the San Jose fire, that burned most of this mountain, by planting swales and vetiver, and trees.

For more info on this minga, read the post "Our response to the San Jose fire".

    Would love to see an update on this project. Did the swales do the job intended? Have the trees got establised. Has the land come back to life?

    Yes Davey, our volunteer work party was well worth it. The swales helped the land hydrate , and of course the moisture in the land helped the trees establish–that is
    our focus! Happy travels, Zia
