Welcome to
the Inspiring Forest

The Forest is a community, it is the encounter of wills that, without seeking it, build a place that they feel as their own and as something collective. We welcome you to our forest, to your forest... to the inspiring forest.

A chance to connect, to be inspired.

trees planted

since 2019.

And starting in 2024,
we will plant one tree per day.

We plant in the Patagonian Andean Forest

The Andean Patagonian Forest is one of the main forest ecosystems in Argentina and one of the southernmost forests on the planet. It provides many ecosystem services such as regulation of the hydrological cycle, conservation of biodiversity, preservation of soil and landscape, and capture of atmospheric carbon dioxide, one of the gases that cause the greenhouse effect.

Planting protects the land

Forests protect the soil from heavy rainfall by preventing water erosion. When there is no cover to intercept the raindrops, they impact violently on the bare ground generating the disaggregation of particles that are then transported to lower areas or bodies of water. In this way, soils are lost and forests are at risk of becoming deserts.

Planting protects water

Why plant trees to take care of the water? Because they contribute to the surcharge of groundwater generating the optimal conditions for water to infiltrate through the soil.

Planting offsets the carbon footprint

Most of our activities release carbon or other gases into the atmosphere, which accelerate global warming. Trees can capture these gases and store them in their leaves, trunks and roots.

By planting trees, we can offset our carbon footprint and combat climate change.

Planting slows down exotic species

Exotic species are those introduced outside their original range. They have no evolutionary relationships with the species with which they are found in their new territory and can cause severe problems by transmitting unknown diseases, competing or prepreying native species.

Planting conserves biodiversity

Forests are home to millions of species. Huemules, pudús, giant woodpeckers, fungi, bacteria and all kinds of plants coexist in the delicate balance that a forest generates.

Forest fragmentation is leaving thousands of species without habitat.
