This mountain kept burning. That's why we're replanting it. But with diverse, native trees 🌳🌱 Not a monoculture. Our partners at GEOTA have planted 50,000 trees across this burned landscape in Verdelhos, Portugal 🌳 35,000 sweet chestnut trees and 15,000 maritime pines. Chestnut trees help slow fire spread and resprout after them. Maritime pines can establish in very degraded soil, help stabilise it, and create conditions for other native species to return 💪 Search with @Ecosia to fund wildfire recovery 💚 #wildfires #reforestation #fires #forestfires #ecosia
