Heavens<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>We returned to Altofonte (PA), Sicily, to take stock of the situation at Forest of Seven Heavens after a particularly challenging year in terms of weather. The purpose of our visit was to check on the health of the plants planted last year and continue the expansion of the Food Forest.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Managing the climate emergency<\/h3>\n<p>The summer of 2025 was one of the most critical for Sicily, with a severe drought that lasted almost uninterruptedly from March to November. This scenario put the young plants under severe stress, causing water stress that led to the loss of some specimens. To maintain the integrity of the project, we planned to replace the <strong>failed plants<\/strong>: a technical intervention necessary to reintroduce new plants where the previous ones had not taken root, thus ensuring the planned forest density.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Over 80 citizens for the new event<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Despite the climatic challenges, enthusiasm was not lacking: during the last planting event, about 80 people joined us, the Rewild Sicily Collective, and Rossella from the Caseifico delle Scale to plant new trees.<\/p>\n<p>At this stage, we have divided the work into two distinct areas: a <strong>perimeter strip<\/strong> with dense planting of shrub species to create a natural protective barrier, and a sparser <strong>central area<\/strong>. The latter has been designed to provide fruit trees with the space they need for optimal development of their canopy and root system.<\/p>\n<p>The Food Forest continues to grow, adapting step by step to a changing climate, thanks to the constant support of those who believe in this project.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Watch the video update<\/strong><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-098175d elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\" data-id=\"098175d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;youtube_url&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/youtu.be\\\/_2neP_I2Leo?si=LvqqG2y4uUUPO4HD&quot;,&quot;video_type&quot;:&quot;youtube&quot;,&quot;controls&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-wrapper elementor-open-inline\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-video\"><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-25 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-23517cd0\" data-id=\"23517cd0\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-0e57481 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"0e57481\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-25 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-a8d5f10\" data-id=\"a8d5f10\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-bdef463\" data-id=\"bdef463\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-176959c elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"176959c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-25 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-f3d5529\" data-id=\"f3d5529\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-2f259df elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"2f259df\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-25 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-0667ef5\" data-id=\"0667ef5\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-1e86018\" data-id=\"1e86018\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4eb7ea8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4eb7ea8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2><strong>December 2026 \u2013 Updates from <\/strong><strong>Forest of Seven Heavens<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>We returned to Palermo for a special planting event with the Rewild Sicily Collective, where we planted around 300 new plants for our Food Forest. This unique project will create an edible ecosystem, with trees and shrubs that will produce fruits, berries, and flowers to feed local wildlife and people. The seedlings planted in March 2024 survived a dry summer thanks to constant care, and today&#8217;s rain was a real blessing to help them take root.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>A special event to nourish the ecosystem<\/h3>\n<p>At the end of November, we went to Forest of Seven Heavens, in the municipality of Altofonte near Palermo, for a new planting event organized by WOWnature. Around 300 new plants, including forest, tree, fruit, and shrub species, were planted to create a Food Forest: an edible forest designed to nourish both people and animals, while enriching the local ecosystem and biodiversity.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Resilience in a drought context<br \/>The first seedlings, planted in March 2024, faced a considerable challenge: the Sicilian summer, characterized by extreme temperatures and prolonged drought. Despite these difficulties, the plants managed to survive thanks to the constant care of Rossella, guardian of the Forest of Seven Heavens, and the Rewild Sicily Collective, who dedicated their time and passion to ensuring their growth. The rain that fell during the planting event this November was a welcome surprise, helping the new plants to take root. This initial phase is crucial to allow the roots to develop deeply and adapt to their new environment.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>A project for the future<\/h3>\n<p>The Forest of Seven Heavens is not just a reforestation project, but a model of environmental and social regeneration. The new plants will make this area a refuge for biodiversity, improving the local microclimate, combating soil erosion, and creating a space for connection between people and nature.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Watch the video<\/strong><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5d1fe55 elementor-widget
