Our commitment is to offset Greenhouse gases emitted by human activities - from the simple act of drive a car to the most sophisticated industrial process - recovering degraded riparian areas. The trees absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, as well contribute to the soil, water and the biological diversity conservation.

To achieve a better result in the plantation it is important to select native species of the region. Most of the species presented above have its natural occurrence in the Atlantic Forest ecosystem, more specifically in the State of São Paulo. If the plantation region presents characteristics of another ecosystem, such as the Cerrado (Brazilian Savanna) for example, we recommend consultation of native species in other lists.

All plants need a minimum life area to survive. In this area they acquire all the resources needed for their life cycle such as water, light and nutrients. Therefore, it is recommended that during the plantation a minimum distance of two meters between each individual is used.

In case of sprout plantation, we recommend the opening of pits with a minimum size of 30cm x 30cm x 30cm. To increase the chances of success and increase the growth rate of the individuals, it is recommended the application of calcareous and fertilizers in the pit. The quantities depends of the soil composition, however, in general terms, the quantities may vary around 1,000 and 2,000 grams of calcareous and around 100 and 200 grams of fertilizer per pit. If possible it is recommended the usage of organic fertilizer instead of the chemic ones.

When planting trees in sidewalks and other places under the electrical grids, is important to pay attention to the maximum hight of the adult individuals to avoid future problems. The species indicated in the table are those who do not exceeds 10 meters tall and therefore are recommended on these cases.

The sprouts and/or seeds planted need special care during its first years of life. We recommend maintenance for, at least, two years to guarantee the survival of the future trees and, consequently, guarantee the global and local benefits that they will proportionate. The maintenance’s main objective is to combat ants and weeds infestations and it consists in monthly inspections during the dry season and grazes and field cleaning around the sprouts during summer.

The concept of Ecologic Group is only relevant for plantations characterized as reforestations, therefore, those that comprehend at least 50 trees. In this cases it is recommended the plantation of 35% of pioneer species (totalizing 50% of individuals) and 65% of non pioneer species (totalizing the others 50% of individuals).
