Retortillo Carbon2Nature

A diverse forest in Soria to recover a degraded environment

Emblematic reforestation project with the aim of improving the environment and reducing soil loss due to erosion. Species adapted to the environment have been used, focusing on diversification with species such as black pine, holm oak, hawthorn, Aleppo pine and Spanish juniper.

In the short term, the aim is to ensure a vegetation cover that provides ecosystem services and improves biodiversity. In the medium and long term, the forest mass will contribute to the creating environmental corridors and the improvement of the landscape.
