Among the various actions carried out by Copa\u00edba, the production of native seedlings is an area of fundamental importance, as it supplies the institution's forest restoration projects.
\nIt is in the Copa\u00edba Forest Nursery that the seedlings are produced. There are more than 150 species of native trees. Among them are some fruit trees, such as pitanga, ara\u00e7\u00e1, uvaia; noble species, such as jequitib\u00e1, jatob\u00e1, copa\u00edba, and several other species that enrich the forests of the region.
\nAnd it all starts from the seeds that are collected in different fragments of native forests. For the collection of fruits and seeds, some criteria are followed, such as the amount of fruits that are collected. \u201cWe always collect a maximum of 30% from the fruits and seeds of the trees, so that the rest of these fruits can feed the animals or disperse naturally\u201d, comments Fl\u00e1via Balderi, Copa\u00edba's Executive Secretary.
\nCollecting fruits and seeds became a voluntary action of the institution's employees. And Copa\u00edba has encouraged more people, landowners, nature lovers, to learn more about plants through this action. \u201cThe voluntary action of collecting seeds has contributed to the production of seedlings. In addition to being very important to have the participation of more people, we increase the genetic diversity of our seedlings\u201d, comments Ana Paula Balderi, coordinator of Viveiro Florestal.
\nCopa\u00edba expects the collaboration of more people and believes that in addition to contributing to the production of seedlings, the volunteers acquire great knowledge about these species.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
