Regen Action #4 Site 1 Lab Forest — Learning by doing : Regenerating a bioregion
🌱 Regen Action, Hands-on Bioregional Regeneration
Regen Action is an impact-driven gathering designed to regenerate the Arrábida bioregion faster and more effectively together.
Join a community of like-minded people for a focused, hands-on morning/ or full day supporting one of the region’s selected regenerative sites. Each Regen Action follows the same framework: learn by doing, contribute meaningful impact, and strengthen the living systems we depend on.
You’ll work directly with soil, plants, trees, and tools — responding to the real, seasonal needs of the land. Every action is intentional, practical, and part of a wider regenerative vision.
Regen Actions evolve with the site and the season, but always offer:
Direct ecological impact
Practical learning in regeneration
Skill-building through real work
Connection with a growing regenerative community
Often, a shared moment of tea infused / plants harvested
🙌 What to expect to this Regen Action
For this session, the focus is on supporting the Site #1 - Regen Lab Forest with the crucial winter maintenance work, in order to speed up regeneration of the targeted trees and soil microbiology.
Pruning selected plants to reinforce structure and resilience
Cutting, and spreading biomass to protect soil and nourish target trees
Clearing out the walking paths
One action at a time. Real impact. Shared effort.
🌿 Led by Regenerative Change Makers, Leaders
Regen Actions are guided by experienced regenerative practitioners, including Mathias(CEO, Regen Waves), Pedro(Agroforestry Developer & Researcher), and Maria(Regenerative Nature Guide & Agroforester).
Their role is to hold the framework, read the land, and guide the group so that every action contributes meaningfully to a living regenerative project, while deepening your understanding of ecosystem regeneration in practice.
