Mobilisation of forest resources

We assist with the mobilisation of wood and other forest products from both public and privately owned forests. Sustainable yield is the best guarantee of the conservation of our forests.

The mobilisation of timber and wood contributes to the conservation of our heritage, generates income for the owners and employment and economic development for the rural areas.

Woodlands occupy over 18 million hectares (Mha) in Spain, the country with the third largest forest area in the European Union. However, only 34% of forest growth is harvested. In addition, there are 9 Mha of scrublands and pastures, which presents a huge opportunity for increasing these assets through productive investment in plantations.

The enhancement of the value of the forests through its sustained and sustainable exploitation (timber and wood, mushrooms, resin, pine nuts, chestnuts and truffles) contributes to its conservation and improvement.

Working lines

Tree marking and timber valuation

Evaluation of the capital value of wood and its monetisation and positioning in the market through the tree marking, will allow the generation of successful operations.

Harvesting and commercialisation

Management of felling under high environmental quality criteria and the classification and sale of wood in order to achieve the greatest benefits for the owner.

Forest plantations

Investment in new productive plantations contributes to the generation of valuable assets and the inheritance of future generations.

Silvicultural interventions

Interventions to maintain the most appropriate growth conditions for a woodland and work to reduce risk of forest fires.
