Nature does not plant trees...
it sows seeds.
At Semillistas we are dedicated to restore the Mediterranean forest through ecosocial design. We use innovative methods of direct sowing with improved seeds, instead of traditional tree planting.
We want to make the Mediterranean green again and help other people and organizations to do the same in their territories.
Our way of doing
We take care of our land
We halt desertification and climate change, with reforestation and regeneration of land eroded by fire and human action. We promote biodiversity.
We take care of our health
We promote physical and mental health of the local population, as it is indissociable from environmental health. We implement internal mechanisms that promote health at work and in labour relations.
We take care of our rural community
We take care of our knowledge
"By taking care of us, we take care of the planet."

Our projects
SIEMBRABOSQUES
We are carrying out a comprehensive regeneration pilot project that unites the reforestation of the Sierra Lujar forests, with citizen participation and health care for the surrounding local communities.
SEEDLAB
We have created the only laboratory in Spain for the study of forest seed biotechnology. In the methodology we are creating, we combine the observation of natural regeneration processes with academic knowledge of seed technologies (priming & pelleting).
