## About

Fundación Reforestemos was born in 2012 as Reforestemos Patagonia after the Torres del Paine fire and now restores native forest across Chile, with projects also in Argentina, Peru and Colombia. It plants native species in national parks and reserves such as Reserva Nacional Coyhaique, runs a native-species nursery in Patagonia, offers a reforestation program for private landowners, and organizes volunteer and corporate planting days. It reports more than 1.7 million trees planted and projects in 128 communes.

## Programs

- **Reserva Nacional Coyhaique restoration** — Reforestation (2020–present): Multi-stage lenga and coihue de Magallanes planting in Reserva Nacional Coyhaique, Aysén, begun in 2020 and now in monitoring. https://www.reforestemos.org/nuestro-proyecto/informes-tecnicos/
- **Programa de Reforestación en Predios Privados** — Reforestation: Landowners apply to have native forest restored on private land with Reforestemos' technical support. https://reforestemos.org/nuestro-proyecto/programa-reforestacion-privados/
- **Vivero Patagonia** — Nurseries & seedlings: The foundation's own native-species nursery in Patagonia supplying its planting projects.

## Metrics

> Note: Reforestemos publishes its 1.7 million figure as a running home-page total without a year-by-year breakdown; the annual figures here come from one project's technical report (Reserva Nacional Coyhaique) and the 106,264 total is the directory's sum of the stages listed in that report.
