Bosques Yungas

Today, Argentina celebrates National Tree Day.
And we choose to celebrate it in the best way we know: by planting trees and restoring the Yungas Forest.
Every tree we plant is one more step toward healthy native forests, full of life and biodiversity.

During the winter, our team prepares everything for the next planting season. Right now, they are filling nursery bags with soil that, in the coming weeks, will each receive a seed. As the days gradually become longer and warmer, the conditions become ideal for germination, marking

We harvested some fruits from the red cebil tree to collect its seeds and test their germination. This native tree was heavily used for its hard wood for many years. Now, every seed matters to help restore the forest.

Field team preparing the planting site. Proper clearing ensures space, light availability, and better establishment for native seedlings.

Work in the nursery involves many different tasks, each requiring care and precision.

One of them is preparing the substrate and filling the pots where native seeds will later be sown to grow into new trees.

This is our nursery. Here we produce all the native trees that will later be planted in the forest.

At this early stage, we manage irrigation, substrate, and light, and protect the seedlings from frost, pests, and water stress. The goal is clear: to ensure healthy, well-developed

With our hands in the soil, planting season is in full swing.
We take advantage of the rainy season to plant native species and give them the best possible start. It’s the time of year when the forest supports the process and everything begins to grow.

This is the landscape where the native trees we plant are growing.
A landscape under restoration, where trees that have already reached a significant size are beginning to restore structure and complexity to the Yungas forest.

We monitor seedling growth, talk things through on site, and share ideas.
Every field visit is a chance to learn, refine strategies, and improve our work.
Native forest restoration is built this way: with presence, collaboration, and long-term commitment.

Improvements at the nursery are essential to ensure seedlings grow healthy and survive until planting.
That’s why we’ve been working on building a protected area to shelter them from heavy rain and excess moisture.

Work starts early to take advantage of the cooler hours.
As the first rays of sunlight appear, the team loads the seedlings onto the tractor and heads out to the planting site.

We’re starting 2026 with the nursery full of new cedar shoots.
Each one grows here, step by step, until it’s ready to be taken to the field and become part of the forest, playing an important role in the ecosystem.

Daily care in the nursery is essential: our team looks after each seedling with monitoring, cleaning, and attention, making sure they grow strong and are ready to be planted in the forest soon 🌱
