The forest stays with the public body. Companies in the area can fund its care.
A possible source of resources, complementary to State and EU transfers. A technical partner to measure, plan and manage the forest you administer.
An unmanaged forest needs attention.
A municipal forest without management needs attention: unstable trees along roads and paths, unmaintained slopes and obstructed watercourses are the first points to observe and plan.
Where the forest is not cared for, the problem feeds itself: fewer people, less care of the territory; less care, more risk and more responsibility for the municipality; and fewer inhabitants mean less tax revenue to meet it. A technical partner that brings private resources breaks the loop: maintenance no longer depends on the municipal budget alone.
Syntropica supports the public body with defined operating timelines: assessment of the state of the forest, planning and management of interventions, even in years without public funding.
The benefits
Simple and immediate.
A single technical counterpart for assessment, planning and management of interventions.
Municipalities together.
Together, several neighbouring municipalities can prepare forest management plans and projects that none would reach alone.
Private resources for strategies already in place.
Support for implementing Green Communities and projects under the National Strategy for Inner Areas (SNAI), with resources from businesses investing in the area.
Knowledge of your forest land.
Satellite monitoring of slopes and forests, baseline and intervention planning, to decide where to act first.
Biodiversity of the places.
We also monitor the biodiversity of the places, and we follow a scenario heading towards the point where biodiversity measures are finally recognised.
Technical documentation for the public body's decisions.
Planning of interventions and technical reports documenting the state of the forest and the work carried out, in support of the public body's decisions. They document and support decisions; responsibility stays with the public body.
Who pays, what you sign
Who pays.
Where a company decides to fund the management of the area, the resources come from that company; the forms are defined project by project.
Costs and conditions are set out in the agreement, in compliance with the applicable procedures. The body sees the agreement, with all its terms, before signing.
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.
What you sign.
An agreement with the public body, with boundaries, duration and obligations defined before work begins. The typical duration is 5, 10 or 15 years depending on the size of the area, as an indication, and is negotiable. Works are carried out in compliance with the applicable regional forestry rules and the intervention plan follows what has been agreed with the body.
What does not change.
No transfer of ownership: interventions follow what is set out in the agreement. Monitoring supports civil protection plans and warning systems.
How it works
-
01
Listening.
Boundaries, forest, planning instruments already approved.
-
02
Measurement.
Baseline (the ordinary management required by regional legislation, the reference from which change is measured) and monitoring of the area.
-
03
Plan.
Interventions and resources, with the arrangement defined project by project.
