Over this rainy season, we have switched to phase two of monitoring of our large scale 30-hectare reforestation effort. As you may know by our previous reports, reforestation is not just planting trees: there is a large effort behind the supply chain of seedlings and tools, analysis, designation and preparation of the areas, planting, and monitoring and replanting replacing seedlings that did not survive.
As of september when the rains start in the Mata Atlantica, we have been working hard to assess and replant, bringing in our main team, a few part time workers and volunteers. We will continue to do this, along with maintenance of fences and firebreaks for the next three years, until the trees are strong enough to survive on their own.
In the future, we hope to be able to measure carbon sinking and other ecosystem services! A huge thank you to everyone who was supported our reforestation work - your help has impacted positively on biodiversity, soil health, carbon storage and job creation!
Stay tuned for more updates on our progress!
