Afforestation Project in Brunflo
About the project
In Brunflo, central Sweden, Life Terra is partnering with local stakeholders to transform former crop fields into a thriving native mixed forest. This 5,000-tree afforestation project will restore degraded farmland, enhance local biodiversity, and contribute to long-term ecosystem resilience.
The new forest will feature a diverse mix of native species, including Betula pubescens, Populus tremula, Picea abies, Sorbus aucuparia, Salix caprea, and Corylus avellana, creating a natural mosaic that supports wildlife and improves landscape connectivity.
Objective
To restore former agricultural land through the planting of approximately 5,000 native trees, establishing a mixed forest ecosystem that will recover soil functions, enhance biodiversity, and contribute to Sweden’s long-term reforestation goals.
Impact
This project will:
Sequester carbon and help mitigate climate change.
Increase biodiversity by creating new habitats for birds, pollinators, and native fauna.
Improve soil quality and water retention through natural regeneration processes.
Enhance landscape resilience and connectivity between existing forested areas.
Engage the local community in hands-on climate action and sustainability education.
