Indigenous species in Mafra National Reserve

Since 2006, Caixa Geral de Depósitos has been implementing several projects focused on the afforestation and recovery of burnt areas across the entire country, a series of initiatives from the Floresta Caixa Program that is strongly focused on the recovery of the Portuguese Forest and on raising environmental awareness on the importance of its active and sustainable management.

These initiatives, which started in 2006 but were strongly implemented in 2009, are developed by Caixa in partnership with different environmental organizations - ANEFA, QUERCUS, ORIYZON ENERGIAS and TAPADA NACIONAL DE MAFRA - and rely on the support of the civil society, resulting in dozens of plantations across the entire country.

The initiative covered over 30 indigenous species, namely Maple, Mediterranean Buckthorn, Common Alder, Black Alder, Portugal Laurel, Holly, Evergreen Oak, Birch, Grey Willow, Oak, Pedunculate Oak, Portuguese Oak, Pyrenean Oak, Sweet Chestnut, Cedar, Cherry, Lily-of-the-Valley-Tree, Ash, Bay Laurel, Chequers, Strawberry Tree, Myrtle, Plane, Sycamore, Maritime Pine, Stone Pine, Scots Pine, Douglas Fir, Elder, Alder Buckthorn, Cork Oak, Rowan, Silver Birch.
