1.200.000
trees planted or regenerated on average/year
The projects we support
We only choose projects with added environmental value and belonging to committed owners who share our implementation conditions. We select them from a portfolio of existing projects, or seek them out according to the specific requirements of our customers.
Good reasons for (re)planting trees include:
- Increasing forest cover
- Restoring areas devastated by abiotic or biotic disturbances such as forest wildfires, windstorms, barkbeetle, Ash dieback…
- Conserving endangered species
- Converting mono-specific forests into more resilient, diversified forests
- Implementing appropriate practices to prevent fires or floods
- …
Our projects mainly concern forestry, but they also have applications in viti -and agro-forestry, where crops and livestock are combined with additional planting of trees and/or hedges.
