Our aim is to stimulate an awareness and appreciation of trees. Through the reforestation we seek to reach two purpose. First of all, we look forward to increase the forest in the country. We plant the trees in areas of environmental importance, to strengthen: biological corridors, water recharge area, water springs, river protection areas and national parks. Thus achieving an increase in biodiversity and restoration of reforested areas. The second purpose is to serve as a bridge between people and nature. During the activity we teach the volunteers about the trees, about sustainable ways of living and about climate action.

The trees are sown equitably away, ensuring that when they reach their maturity size they do not provoke competition. Planting in contour with level curves, seeking to reinforce mainly the areas most prone to erosion. There is a removal of the plant cover of one meter in diameter around the tree.

The project begins with the search for land. We look for a land that is important for the environment, such as areas of biological connectivity, water recharge zones and protection of bodies of water." A forestry engineer visits the land to verify that it meets the optimal conditions for the reforestation. He also determines the best species for the area, which provides the greatest eco-friendly benefits. The forestry engineer comes in contact with nurseries gardens in the area to locate the most suitable species and with the ideal sowing sizes, which go with a minimum height of 50 cm. The preparation of the land is carried out, consisting in pruning the scrub and marking the land. In addition to carrying prior to planting, tools and trees to the area. Auto Mercado subsidizes the transportation costs of volunteers, tools, fertilizer and the trees. During the reforestation, volunteers are bio-literate about the importance of reforestation in the area, about the mitigation of climate change, concepts of biological corridor sustainability, about the species to be reforested. In addition to explaining the appropriate methods to plant a tree, which favors to reduce the mortality rate of reforested trees. To close the reforestation, a planting space with purpose is created. In this space, people meditate on the importance of well-being and set personal welfare goals. This mechanism allows participants to release the stress of everyday life, since at the end there are spaces open for volunteers to express their basic social needs. A forestry engineer visits the land one month, six months and one year after reforestation, to evaluate the survival and the needs that he has. Once the inspection is done, it coordinates with the owners of the reforested land the conditions for the maintenance of the reforested trees. Similarly, it makes a report on the mortality rate of reforested trees and, if necessary, proposes a date to carry out a reforestation of land maintenance.
