This land was once a lively rural home. Families lived simply, off the land — growing olives, fruit, and veggies, raising animals, and building strong local roots.
Then came the eucalyptus boom. From the 1950s to the ’90s, fast-growing eucalyptus trees were planted across Portugal to feed the paper industry. These trees spread fast, drained the soil, and made the land dangerously flammable. Many locals left in protest, and the forests turned into dry, fire-prone plantations.
Now, things are shifting.
Here around Vila Longa, a new wave of off-gridders, families, and volunteers are bringing life back to the soil. We’re clearing eucalyptus, planting food gardens and orchards, building something meaningful — a space for nature, learning, and simple living.
