Torraspapel sponsors restoration project

Torraspapel, part of the Lecta Group, has sponsored a project to restore a degraded landscape on the banks of the Tajo River in Aranjuez, Madrid.

As an alluvial forest, the area stabilizes the riverbank, reduces erosion, acts as a green filter and plays an important role as a feeding area and refuge for plants and animals. Also a livestock trail, it is part of a network of age-old paths that constitute a latticework of existing ecosystems, connecting parks and other natural reserves and spaces.

The project is in keeping with Torraspapel’s mission and values of corporate social and environmental responsibility, of which forest restoration is described as an essential pillar. The company has collaborated with Spanish NGO Acciónatura in ecological recovery and forest restoration projects since 2004, resulting in the planting of more than 21,000 trees on the Iberian Peninsula and in Brazil.
