A virgin forest. Still untouched.
And still unprotected.
Where Petrimanu sits
Near the resort of Voineasa, in Vâlcea county, Petrimanu is a mountain forest — steep slopes, white rock faces, and spruce running down to the water.
It is a true mountain forest: Carpathian ridges wrapped in cloud, cold streams, and a valley that still holds the quiet of a little-visited place.
A virgin forest
Petrimanu is one of the few virgin forests left in the area. Around 456 hectares of forest that has followed its own rhythm, without human intervention.
That means old trees, dead wood left where it falls, living soil, and a natural structure a logged forest no longer has. Places like this barely exist anymore.
Why we want it
The Forever Forest model is simple: a forest is truly safe only when it no longer depends on anyone’s goodwill.
Petrimanu is one of the forests we want to bring under that kind of protection — not through campaigns or promises, but through direct control, presence on the ground, and long-term care.
How you can help
Petrimanu is not ours yet. It is a real forest, with a future still open.
Be part of the next step. Every contribution brings us closer to the moment when another virgin forest can be placed, permanently, out of danger.
