At Joan Boscata, we work to recover and improve natural spaces through the transformation and opening of pastures, a key process to promote agricultural and livestock activity, as well as to enhance biodiversity, prevent forest fires and promote the landscape mosaic within the territory.

This service combines sustainable techniques and environmentally friendly management to adapt abandoned or disused land to new agricultural and ecological uses.

What is Pasture Transformation and Opening?

Pasture transformation consists of recovering wooded areas or degraded land to convert them into open spaces suitable for grazing. This process involves:

• Selective clearing and expansion to create spaces for animal intervention and selection of forage or fruit species
• Such as to open up spaces of light and allow the growth of plant species adapted to grazing.
• Undergrowth clearing to improve accessibility and reduce the risk of fires.

Benefits of Opening Pastures

• Recovery of traditional landscapes: Open spaces that have formed part of the rural and cultural landscape are maintained, promoting their integration with the territory.
• Promotion of livestock and agricultural activity: Provides land suitable for grazing, reducing pressure on forest areas and improving rural productivity.
• Forest fire prevention: Open areas act as natural firewalls, limiting the spread of fires.
• Improving biodiversity: It promotes the diversity of plant and animal species adapted to open environments.
• Protection of soil and water resources: Reduces erosion and improves water infiltration into the ground.

A Commitment to Sustainable Management

At Joan Boscata, we integrate close-to-nature forest management techniques into all our pasture transformation and opening services. We work with a sustainable approach to achieve:

• Spaces adapted to agricultural and livestock uses.
• Ecological restoration of degraded areas.
• Efficient and environmentally friendly solutions.
