Windy Valley Finca: major projects and wildfire

Episode 4:
We could never have imagined the sight that awaited us when we arrived at the farm on the evening of July 26th. All land and the beautiful pine forests surrounding our farm were burned down in a large-scale wildfire. It was a heart-aching sight. We were in shock. But we felt immense gratitude after finding out our little house was fine and our olive- and almond trees survived with minor scars only. So it was time to roll up the sleeves and get to work!

I'm so glad your property wasn't damaged by the fires, very scary! 🙏

Thank you 🙏🏼 It was a chilling feeling when we were driving through the burned areas and realised it's going all the way down to our valley! Thankfully our house is fine, but I keep on thinking about all the wild animals there. We used to have wild boars visiting our fields, a fox, a mongoose... I hope animals survived too 🙏🏼

@@luluelme That's always my first thought too whether it's fire or land clearing for building, what about the displaced animals?! Very sad 😪
