With afforestation loan you can finance all afforestation related activities.

Afforestation – planting a forest on a land that, until then, was under a different land use or not used.
Planting trees is also a way to increase your land value and a chance to use your land in sustainable way.

Why is it important to plant forests?

There are many vacant, abandoned and in some cases degraded lands that are not being used to their full potential.

Planting a forest is one of the most effective ways to tackle climate change, as forests are one of the few natural ecosystems that can store carbon and help to offset CO2 emissions produced by humans.

Afforestation plan should include the following elements:

description of the area according to its gazetting in the land registry
site preparation and its impacts on pre-existing carbon stocks, including soils and aboveground biomass, in order to protect land with high carbon stock
management goals, including major constraints
general strategies and activities planned to reach the management goals, including expected operations over the whole forest cycle
definition of the forest habitat context, including main existing and intended forest tree species, and their extent and distribution
compartments, roads, rights of way and other public access, physical features including waterways, areas under legal and other restrictions
measures deployed to establish and maintain the good condition of forest ecosystems
consideration of societal issues (including preservation of landscapes, consultation with stakeholders in accordance with the terms and conditions laid down in national law)
assessment of forest related risks, including forest fires, and pests and disease outbreaks, with the aim of preventing, reducing and controlling the risks and measures deployed to ensure protection and adaptation against residual risks
assessment of impact on food security
all DNSH criteria relevant to afforestation.

Climate Benefit Analysis - an analysis of the net climate benefits of afforestation. The analysis will consider carbon sequestered by trees and soils, and greenhouse gas emissions generated by afforestation activities.
