Cork trees are a natural tree of of the Mediterranean basin and all around this region every summer thousands of men work in the Quercus Suber forests. Sometimes these men are working only an hour away from major European cities, however this work, is quite unknown or mis-understood by the general public.

They are the FIRST in a long line of men and women who work with this natural raw material. This projects intends to draw attention to these workers to explain the benefits of cork, cork harvesting, and the importance of recuperating this work to facilitate sustainable forest management.

This is an ongoing project, work commenced in the northern region of Catalonia in the provinces of Girona and Barcelona during the cork harvest of 2018 and continued during the harvest seasons of 2019 and 2020. Work was scheduled to contiunue in other regions and countires during 2020 however due to the pandemic this has been postponed to 2021.
