• Project description
  Due to a perpetual conservation easement being implemented by the Project Proponent, the project lifetime is perpetual. The grouped project differs from other reforestation projects currently proposed or implemented in Chile due to its reforestation utilizing native Chilean tree species. Three types of native-species beech trees, Coigue, Nirre, and Lenga, are planted in a pattern that replicates the growth of a natural forest. The project activity instances will take place on land that is classified as degrading or degraded due to their baseline scenario of livestock grazing. The initial project activity instance includes the reforestation of 136.65 hectares of degraded land in Region X of Chile, in an area known as Valle California (VC). The first project activities began in 2010, and have established plantings in 20 plots totaling 137 ha in areas without tree cover. Patagonia Sur’s proposed VCS ARR project is unique in the reforestation of trees native to Chile. Project Proponent's website indicates that the project is part of a larger real estate development project.
