Half of our land is covered by woodland and forests, where different essences
and trees of different ages coexist, some of them hundreds of years old.
Mostly there are oaks, holly oaks, downy oaks and then strawberry trees,
butcher’s broom and many other species.
We firmly believe that forests should be “cultivated”, so in winter, during vegetative rest, we carry out various activities to ensure the health
and growth of the plants. In doing so, we promote the vitality of the undergrowth, a precious treasure trove of biodiversity,
which in turn provides food and shelter for many species of animals and insects.
Caring for this heritage is important because the forest returns the favour by slowing soil erosion and landslides, capturing CO2,
generating oxygen, filtering water and, of course, producing wood, which is a valuable renewable resource.
