The first company in the Armando Alvarez Group was created in the 50s in Torrelavega (Cantabria), with a small carpentry shop and purchase of timber by growing stock volume, which grew to become what we know today as Alvarez Forestal.

REFORESTATION

We plant 1,000 trees every day

After a preliminary survey of the ground, we do the necessary work to prepare the soil, plant, fertilise, etc., exceeding 300,000 new plants every year. This allows us to contribute to reducing environmental pollution and to fighting climate change.

LAND MAINTENANCE

Clearing to prevent wildfires

We keep the vegetation in check on large swathes of land to keep the track clean and to reduce the risk of potential wildfire, as well as to contain the spread of fire.

REUSING

We work under a zero-waste model

When it is time to cut the trees, we use the wood mainly for the paste-paper industry (strategic sector). On the other hand, the waste generated during the cutting, known as waste biomass, is collected and taken from the mountain to the Biomasa de Cantabria plant, a company belonging to the Armando Alvarez Group, to be used as a renewable energy source.
