Why was Bosqueo2 set up? What are its main objectives?<\/strong><\/p>\n Bosqueo2 was set up in late 2014 in a very modest way but with an enterprising spirit. In the Region of Murcia, there were very few organisations engaged in participatory reforestation.<\/p>\n Sharing a keen interest in the environment, some friends and I decided to create the association with the clear intention of doing something different to what was known until then. That was how we shaped the activities that we do today.<\/p>\n Activities that go beyond just planting a tree. We decided to make the planting more attractive by always adapting to the needs of the participants. The objectives were very clear from the start:<\/p>\n How many specimens has Bosqueo2 planted so far? <\/strong><\/p>\n Adding together the trees planted by educational centres and companies, over 6,000 specimens, all with guards to protect them from wildlife, a personalised digital record and watering for the first two years. They\u2019re planted across 15 hectares of land where Bosqueo2 carries out its activities. On top of this, thousands of seeds have been sown in other projects undertaken by the association.<\/p>\n What are the main characteristics of these species?<\/strong><\/p>\n The species we use adhere to a plan drawn up by foresters and implemented by Bosqueo2. These species \u2013 wild olives, mastics, blackthorns, buckthorns \u2013 are autochthonous varieties highly resistant to the droughts that are so common in the south-east, capable of sprouting new shoots in the event of fires. We always avoid monoculture, since biodiversity is greatly improved, and plagues have little effect on this kind of homogeneous forest.<\/p>\n What does it mean for Bosqueo2 to have companies, organisations and educational centres involved in its cause?<\/strong><\/p>\n It\u2019s very satisfying \u2013 when we started, we went from door to door explaining the project. We didn\u2019t know whether it would generate interest among companies and educational centres. Fortunately, with a lot of effort and perseverance, we attracted interest, and everything got off the ground. The trust that companies and educational centres have placed in us these last few years is our raison d\u2019\u00eatre. It\u2019s thanks to them that we\u2019re able to do our planting, so we want them to come away feeling satisfied.<\/p>\n So far, how many organisations have worked with you?<\/strong><\/p>\n Countless state and private educational centres in municipalities such as Lorca, \u00c1guilas, Murcia, Cartagena, Totana and Puerto Lumbreras.<\/p>\n As far as companies are concerned, each year we\u2019ve had the support of various businesses, which have planted trees either in person or by providing sponsorship remotely on behalf of their employees or clients, who they offer a specimen alongside a very comprehensive digital record. We\u2019ve worked with organisations in the telecommunications, commercial, industrial, transport, and energy and food distribution sectors, as well as foundations representing holding companies.<\/p>\n We adapt our planting to all kinds of needs. Flexibility is essential for carrying out these initiatives.<\/p>\n What is the most rewarding aspect of this project for you and the association\u2019s other members\/volunteers?<\/strong><\/p>\n Although the work is sometimes hard, like when we\u2019re watering in the middle of July or preparing the holes before the activities, it\u2019s all worth it when, for instance, we remove the guards from the specimens a few years later because they\u2019ve grown and need more space, or when we see participants in the activity visiting their specimens later to water them and take photographs alongside them. And, probably the most important aspect of the work is seeing the satisfaction in the faces of the participants once the activity is over and everything has gone as planned.<\/p>\n At Andamur we\u2019re committed to the environment and, as it happens, in 2020 we became the first company in the industry to receive its Carbon Footprint Certificate. Today is International Day of Forests and we want to take the opportunity to highlight the great work done by Bosqueo2, an association we\u2019ve been working with for […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":18452,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[47],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-18444","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n\n
