Gandum Site Visit: Montemor-o-Novo

A recent visit to the Gandum planting site in Montemor-o-Novo offered valuable insights into the project's progress. The site showed a generally robust survival rate of the planted trees. Maintenance efforts, including irrigation and mulching, had been carried out, which likely contributed to the positive outcome. Evidence of natural regeneration was also observed, and the decision was made to allow it to continue. The site had experienced some challenging weather events, including hail, heavy rain, and strong winds. Despite these events, the overall impression was positive, highlighting the resilience of the planting and the effectiveness of the maintenance strategies.
