At Joan Boscata, we believe in the importance of working with nature, not against it. That's why we base our services on the principles of close-to-nature forest management, an approach that prioritizes sustainability, biodiversity and ecosystem health.

This management model—following the principles of ProSilva—is based on:

• Respect for natural processes: The ecological balance is maintained, favoring the natural regeneration of forests and reducing the need for artificial interventions.
• Biodiversity and climate resilience: Species diversity is promoted, improving the adaptive capacity of forests in the face of climate change and other environmental threats.
• Sustainable production: The exploitation of forest resources is compatible with environmental conservation, guaranteeing long-term profitability without compromising the future.
• Minimization of environmental impact: Wood extraction techniques are applied that reduce
  compaction, controlled logging and selective clearing to protect the soil, fauna and waterways.

Benefits of Close to Nature Management

• Healthier and more resilient forests: The natural capacity for self-regeneration and adaptation to environmental changes is preserved.
• Improving biodiversity: Forest habitats become refuges for species
  native, improving the ecosystem.
• Economic and environmental sustainability: Continuous use of resources is guaranteed
  natural, while maintaining ecological stability.
• Safety and prevention: Forest management techniques help prevent fires and natural hazards, ensuring safe spaces for people and infrastructure.
