Our Approach
We apply internationally recognized methods to reduce wildfire hazards while preserving the natural ecosystem:
- Pruning & Cleaning – Removing dry branches, diseased trees, and excess undergrowth to prevent fire spread.
- Forest Floor Clearing – Using specialized equipment to eliminate flammable vegetation and debris.
- Mulching & Recycling – Processing organic material into mulch, which is repurposed for:
- Compressed logs for sustainable home heating.
- Pellets as efficient, eco-friendly fuel.
- Cattle feed, reducing waste and supporting local farmers.
Community Benefits
- Fire Safety: Reduces the risk of devastating wildfires.
- Cleaner Air: Lowers CO₂ emissions by replacing diesel with renewable fuel alternatives.
- Economic Value: Provides low-cost heating solutions and agricultural support.
- Healthier Forests: Encourages biodiversity and long-term forest resilience.
Looking Ahead
This project is designed as a scalable model that can be implemented in forests across Lebanon. By combining environmental science with community needs, EcoVert is building a blueprint for wildfire prevention that benefits both people and nature.
