Resin Harvesting comes from pine forests. Locals tap trees by hand, collecting the fragrant sap. This eco-friendly practice supports rural livelihoods, preserves forest knowledge, and contributes to wildfire prevention by maintaining healthy, managed woodlands. It’s a quiet, enduring rural craft.
Although there is no dialogue, this film by Joao Martin beautifully captures the sights and sounds of resin harvesting.
