Tree planting with a local foundation

We work with a registered reforestation foundation and the regional forestry directorate on sites that need replanting, often areas affected by wildfire. Planting runs from November to March, when saplings take root best.

A forestry engineer explains the site and the species (usually Turkish red pine, stone pine, oak or carob, depending on the region), then demonstrates how to plant. Teams of four work a marked plot with tools and saplings laid out ready; a typical group plants three to five trees per person in two hours.

Afterwards we serve a village-style lunch on site. Each team receives a certificate and a map with the GPS location of its plot, and the foundation sends survival-rate updates a year later for your sustainability report.
