Forest Reforestation Services for Climate Adaptation

This contract seeks suppliers to provide reforestation services aimed at enhancing the resilience of forests against climate change. The project involves planting groups of 25 native tree seedlings, known as 'cloempens', in existing forests to increase biodiversity without large-scale tree removal. These seedlings will be protected from deer browsing using wooden fences, and soil amendments will be added to improve growth conditions. The initiative aligns with the strategic goals of the Flemish Government's Blue Deal program, specifically targeting pine and mixed forests. Access to planting sites will be facilitated by clearing old paths and access roads.
