REFORESTATION INITIATIVE
Our vast reforestation initiative started after the great fire of 1999 which devastated our area for the first time. Since then, fires have kept coming and we have kept planting.
*Each tree equates to 47.5 m² of reforested land per official guidelines set by the Hellenic Ministry of Environment and Energy
