The Consorci Forestal de Catalunya and the Olot Meats company are collaborating on a pioneering initiative
The Consorci Forestal de Catalunya and the Olot Meats company have launched a pioneering forest management initiative in the Vall de Bianya, in the Garrotxa region. Through private funds, various actions are carried out to adapt forests to the needs of climate change and promote sustainability.
Objectives of the initiative
The main objective of the initiative is to encourage the forests of the Vall de Bianya to adapt to climate change. To achieve this, forest management work is carried out on private farms. These works include the selective felling of trees to favor the most vigorous ones, the clearing of paths to allow water to reach aquifers, and the conservation of dead trees to promote biodiversity.
Benefits of sustainable forest management
Sustainable forest management has several benefits. Firstly, it helps reduce the impact of climate change, as forests act as carbon sinks. In addition, it promotes the production of blue water, which is the water that seeps into aquifers and is essential for the supply of drinking water. It also contributes to the conservation of biodiversity, as it promotes the habitat of species that depend on dead trees.
Commitment to sustainability
This initiative demonstrates the commitment of the Consorci Forestal de Catalunya and the Olot Meats company to sustainability and the preservation of natural resources. Through their collaboration, it seeks to guarantee the proper management of forests and their adaptation to environmental changes.
