CTT – Correios de Portugal and Quercus will organize, on February 28th, with the support of several volunteers, in partnership with the Faia Brava Reserve and Eternal Forest , a reforestation action, within the scope of the “A Tree for the Forest” initiative . The planting of approximately 1,200 trees in that area is planned.

In addition to the entities mentioned above, the action will also involve CTT (Portuguese postal service) personnel and all external participants who wish to register, with the aim of promoting the importance of preserving and perpetuating native forests.

The successful planting of all the trees, part of an initiative now in its 12th edition, demonstrates the commitment of Quercus and CTT to mobilizing society regarding the importance of our forests and their recovery. Anyone participating in the "A Tree for the Forest" initiative is contributing to the afforestation and reforestation of Protected and Classified Areas throughout the country, with Faia Brava being the first privately owned protected area in Portugal. The role of forests, forest species, and the ecosystem services they provide is essential for our existence and constitutes additional protection against future pandemics.

Thanks to the community's contribution, thousands of native species have already been planted in Portugal. All plantings are organized on the ground by Quercus, in close collaboration with local organizations.

To participate in the planting, simply send an email to [email protected] , but please note that registration is mandatory.
