We are restoring the wind-damaged forests of Transylvania to increase their resilience against the impacts of climate change. The disruption of conditions that forests have adapted to over centuries has left them vulnerable and prone to further deterioration. By reintroducing oak species and replanting with native trees, we aim to strengthen these forests to withstand future changes and conserve the natural habitat of many local animals.

Brown.

At our planting sites in the Eastern Carpathians, everything is brown.
Except for a few red berries and evergreen leaves, brown is the colour of the snowless winter in the Eastern Carpathians. It has become the default palette of December in recent years.
