- Work on the improvement and enhancement of the Castro Friulio, and help in the restoration and consolidation of various structures (roofs of the pallozas, kilns ...). - Active participation in the organization and execution of the "IV Malla" in Castro Friulio, an event that took place for the first time in 2021, coinciding with the first edition of this Work Camp. It is about recovering the tradition of the wheat mesh, which was much more than the sifting of cereals. LA MALLA, what is?: Before the harvesting machines did everything: mowing, extracting the grain, packing the straw,... it was done manually. One of the most important cooperative works in rural agriculture was LA MALLA. This communion between all the neighbours, uniting effort and sweat,... takes the step of becoming an almost extinct secular tradition in a good part of our Galicia. - Planting of a forest of native trees and fruit trees along the Narla river promenade to the town.
