Reforestation of Burned Areas Needs Two Years
The Forest Department clarifies that reforestation of burned areas does not occur immediately after wildfires. Instead, there is a evaluation period of one to two years to allow natural regeneration of the vegetation. The avoidance of direct intervention aims to protect the dormant seeds and the soil infrastructure, as Mediterranean trees such as Aleppo pine and wild olive rely on heat-resistant mechanisms to regrow. During the first year, measures include protecting the forest by removing burned wood, establishing barriers to prevent soil erosion, and prohibiting recent grazing of seedlings. Artificial replanting is scheduled to begin from the second or third year, especially using fire- and drought-resistant species like carob and wild olive, with implementation taking place between November and March.
