From unmanaged forest to managed forest.

An unmanaged forest can be a cost and a risk for its owner. Syntropica measures, plans and manages it together with the owner, so that it becomes useful to the territory again. Ownership of the land stays with you.

Agreements are defined case by case, according to the context and the needs of each public body and owner: in a regionally heterogeneous regulatory framework and with cadastrally fragmented ownership, a standard solution would be reductive.

The typical duration of the agreement is 5, 10 or 15 years depending on the size of the area, as an indication, and is negotiable with the owner. Works are carried out in compliance with the applicable regional forestry rules.

The benefits

Aggregation without acquisition.

Each owner signs for their own parcels, which join a shared management scheme with other holdings; title to the land remains with each owner.

Knowledge of your forest.

Location, extent and condition of the forest, measured by remote sensing and ground surveys using an ISO-based calculation method.

Ongoing management.

Multi-year intervention planning instead of occasional felling, with local forestry contractors and timber allocated by quality.

Ecosystem services.

The carbon stock is quantified; biodiversity and water regulation are described qualitatively. The forms are defined by contract, project by project.

Duration, exit, fees.

Defined by contract, project by project, and explained before signing.

An involved community.

Landscape stewards and local working groups that look after the land and keep its knowledge alive.

How it works

  1. 01

    Knowledge.

    Locating the parcels, titles, current condition of the forest.

  2. 02

    Measurement.

    Remote sensing and, where needed, ground surveys.

  3. 03

    Proposal.

    A management pathway, with the arrangement defined project by project.

A tended forest can become more accessible and better watched over, and useful again to those who live there.
