Itinerary
Spend a morning surrounded by beautiful nature and get involved with the recovery of ecologically degraded areas through the restitution of native forests. Depending on the current intervention needs of each location, you will have the chance to carry out the following activities:
Control of exotic weed species: Removal of exotic species that pose a threat to biodiversity and forests.
Maintenance of reforested areas: Taking care of previously planted plants.
Protection of spontaneous regeneration: Identifying spontaneously arisen plants that need to be preserved due to their importance for the biodiversity and local gene bank.
Fire protection: Management of thin and thick plant material to reduce the combustion load.
Planting to promote regeneration: Plantations that allow for the restitution of native biodiverse forests to promote natural regeneration processes.
Restoration of water lines: Restoration of the characteristic habitats associated with riparian galleries.
Natural engineering works: Construction of palisades to control lines of torrential runoff or for the creation of wetlands as well as barriers to prevent erosion, among others.
