Located in the Pedra Branca neighborhood, in Socorro<\/p>\n
SP, the new Copa\u00edba Forest Nursery started the production of tree seedlings of native species of the Atlantic Forest. The Viveiro belongs to the Copa\u00edba Environmentalist Association, whose mission is to conserve and restore the Atlantic Forest of the Peixe and Camanducaia river basins.<\/p>\n
Since 2001, the Viveiro has been producing native seedlings. It currently has the capacity to produce 300,000 seedlings per year and has already produced more than 1,600,000 seedlings. These seedlings supply Copa\u00edba's own and third-party forest restoration projects.<\/p>\n
Due to the expansion of institutional goals, the Nursery needed a larger area to expand its production and thus be able to recover more forests.<\/p>\n
The 56,000 m2 property, which today houses the new Nursery, was donated to Copa\u00edba in 2014 by Eliane Vaz Guimar\u00e3es and Eliane Aparecida da Silva.<\/p>\n
They had the dream of environmental conservation in that area, in addition to that, both became sensitive to Copa\u00edba's mission and decided to donate the property, in the year the institution turned 15.<\/p>\n
The production area of the new Forest Nursery is now over 5,000 m2, four times the area of the old nursery. With this new structure, the nursery can reach the capacity of 1 million seedlings produced per year. This will be planned from the next few years. Consequently more forests will be recovered in the region.<\/p>\n
It is on this same property that the institution is recovering a forest of more than 30,000 m2. This area will be allocated to a Conservation Unit \u2013 Private Natural Heritage Reserve (RPPN), with the objective of perpetuating the forest fragment that is forming there, contributing to the conservation of fauna, flora, soil and also water.<\/p>\n
