GAL LeaderOeste, founded in 2003, is a non- profit association based in Cadaval, in the Oeste Region. With an extension of 2500 squared metres, Cadaval is the first region in Portugal for agriculture. Currently, LeaderOeste has more than 50 members, which are equally divided between agricultural associations and local authorities (mainly municipalities).
In addition to the EC Leader+, the GAL runs projects aimed to develop, valorise and promote the typical local products, and it co- operates with other agencies dealing with the environmental care and the development of the Oeste region.
As regards the Interwood Project itself, Leader Oeste GAL promotes the online sharing of experiences and projects, to identify management models suitable for the woodlands properties in Oeste, in order to preserve the Oeste Region woodlands, through the interconnection of human, natural and financing resources activated by the project and developed through APAS Floresta.
