PROJECT

La Burgalesa

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Creation of a forest ecosystem capable of absorbing CO2, thus combating global warming, protecting the soil by creating sustainable forest cover, and restoring the biodiversity of the area and wildlife habitats.

Forest Repopulation Project of 23.01 hectares located in the municipalities of Caleruega, Tubila del Lago, and Villalbilla de Gumiel (Burgos).

The objective of this afforestation project has been to promote the establishment of forest cover in an area devoid of tree vegetation and degraded by intense erosive processes. This mass will play a fundamental role in the regulation of water resources in the future, minimizing the risks of erosive processes, and providing nutrients to the soil. The establishment of this mass represents a significant environmental challenge.

The species used in reforestation are typical of Mediterranean forests present in Burgos: Pinus pinea, Pinus halepensis, Quercus ilex, Juniperus thurifera among others.
