Offsetting

Our offsetting services cover the development of forest ecosystems, namely the restructuring of domestic forests with native tree species. This will make the forest more resilient to the effects of climate change. Due to this, the size of the forest area, biodiversity, and the number of native tree species in Hungary will increase.

FORESTS FOR CARBON NEUTRALITY IN HUNGARY

THIS REDUCES THE ECOLOGICAL FOOTPRINT OF YOUR BUSINESS

WHY?

I.	Compensate from the operation of your lifestyle and your business carbon dioxide emissions.

II.	Hungary’s forest area, biodiversity and the number of native tree species is increasing.

THE CARBON FOOTPRINT OF AN AVERAGE HUNGARIAN WORKER IS APPROXIMATELY 5T CO2 PER YEAR, WHICH CAN BE CONTAINED BY APPROXIMATELY 200 PIECES OF AVERAGE AGE AND CONDITION IN ONE YEAR.

HOW IT WORKS?

YOU	Neutralizes CO2 emissions Plant a tree with Climate Action Protects the environment

WE	We calculate the environmental pollution We plant domestic forests and improve their natural conditio Afforestation was carried out with the involvement of National

Our tree planting service is carried out with the restructuring of forests and the planting of native seedlings. Our goal is to create forests that can better withstand climate change. Such forests of several species consist of mixed perennial plants and trees.

Currently, this area is home to alien pine and invasive acacia that was planted in the late 1960s. Due to the adverse effects of climate change, the health of both tree species has deteriorated significantly. The current forest plan allows for the cutting of 60-year-old pines and 30-year-old acacias. By avoiding the clear-cutting of these trees, the replacement of the forest pine with acacia tree species that make up the current ecosystem can also be achieved by applying the regeneration method. We evaluate the health status of each tree individually and the possibility of their further potential sustainability. During the applied technology, only the identified sick trees are harvested and replaced by individuals of native, long-term sustainable tree species. In our experience, the mixed tree species formed in this way are sustainable for 90-110 years.

In addition to the 6-8 year care period of planted seedlings, tree management can be achieved with low environmental impact. It is necessary to carry out silvicultural interventions every 7-10 years to prevent the further spread of invasive species.
