Forest areas are a key source of resources for a sustainable future. In addition to timber as the main product, they offer a wide range of non-timber products and ecosystem services.
Afforestation and creation of forest stands
AMETLAM has the experience and knowledge necessary to guide its clients throughout the entire afforestation project. We are experts in helping our clients throughout the entire process:
We design the forest or forest stand to meet the landowner's specific goals.
We are looking for financing.
We model your forest stand for the future.
We elaborate the afforestation plan by selecting and modeling the species best adapted to the territory.
Specialists in the design of mixed plantations tree by tree.
All forest assets in which the company is involved are managed under the premise that the forested —and therefore capitalized— area of each Forest Management Unit (UGFg) should increase over time. In addition, projects are planned to meet the highest PEFC®/FSC® quality standards, integrating these into forest-level management documents in order to achieve the medium- and long-term objectives defined by the company’s technical team and approved by the landowners.
Silvicultural treatment and forestry management services
A well-managed forest is a valuable asset that increases in value over time. At AMETLAM, we work to guarantee this growth through the correct planning and execution of silvicultural treatments adapted to the specific characteristics of each biome, species, seasonal quality and density. These treatments not only ensure the persistence and stability of forest stands, but also strengthen their resilience to biotic and abiotic threats, such as pests, diseases or forest fires.
Modeling and silvicultural planning for efficient forest management.
In order for the planning to meet the previously defined objectives, our specialized team monitors and models the forest stands through “ad hoc” designed silvicultural itineraries. These management pathways are simulated using our advanced forest management software, SINERXIA®, which allows us to make optimal decisions regarding actions such as thinnings, prunings, or combined treatments. Before implementing these treatments, we carry out tree marking and establish “training” plots. In these plots, “future” trees and “to-be-removed” trees are marked in order to optimize the subsequent work of forestry operators and ensure an efficient and precise execution of silvicultural operations.
Forest Exploitation and Market Placement
Obtaining the best possible yield from a forest or forest stand is essential. Timber harvested from well-managed forests and woodland areas can generate significant income for the landowner. To this end, AMETLAM is committed to two fundamental pillars within its management:
Value enhancement.
Traceability.
As a result of our commitment to these two pillars, the company is investing in the creation of regional weighing centers equipped with IoT sensors that allow us to monitor harvesting activities in real time, ensure the traceability of timber at its origin, and implement batch, species, and product coding to provide maximum transparency and control for our clients. All this information is automated and available in “real time” in the forestry management software SINERXIA® ..
