Do you remember being invited to an unique birds concert? Last July we shared with you all about our approach in a little video and showed how we wanted to create a biotope: a True Paradise to entice All Kinds of Birds.
At The Green Core Foundation, we are passionate about boosting biodiversity. One of our main goals is to increase bird populations and expand the variety of bird species. We do this by creating true bird paradises—natural sanctuaries where birds can thrive.
What is living in our forest and why is it important that we maintain our forest for them?
Well prepared land holds great significance in creating a forest. The five steps required in preparing the land involve: Clearing and weeding the field, Pre-irrigation, First ploughing or tilling, Harrowing, and Levelling.
We use a method of planting trees in a line. There are many benefits that promote the use of this method. It is a structured, efficient and functional method that helps us expand our forest and plant thousands of trees more efficiently.
At the start of this year, we planted trees to expand our forest. But our job is not done yet! To make sure these trees grow strong and healthy, we need to take good care of them.
Before planting trees, we carefully consider factors such as soil type, and climate conditions when selecting trees for each location. Each tree species have different benefits for the ecosystem.
In the past few years, we have planted more than 6.751 trees in order to reduce CO2 emissions and contribute to a better world. However, what is the actual impact of tree planting?
An oak tree goes through many changes in its life cycle. They can absorb over 22kg of CO2 annually and provide food and habitat for wildlife. Also, oak trees offer ecosystem services like water regulation, soil stabilization, and carbon sequestration.
There is a lot that goes into planting trees. Planting trees often starts with land full of weeds. It is not a perfect flat piece of land. The land must be first cleared before the trees can be planted.
