Nightwish Reserve

At Grupo Ecológico Sierra Gorda we are very happy and proud to see how every day more and more people join our movement, a wave of love for nature. Our friends from the Finnish band Nightwish, join as ambassadors of the World Land Trust. Nightwish sees nature as an inspiration to create music, and we at GESG believe that music builds bridges, brings people together and raises awareness.

We thank the World Land Trust for weaving this partnership, for introducing the Sierra Gorda to Nightwish, and for supporting the expansion of one of the reserves we steward, the Nightwish Reserve, home to the black bear and mountain lion.
