With the purpose of promoting knowledge of ecosystems and bringing people closer to the natural environment, Bosque Vivo CMPC develops free educational trails in different parks in southern Chile. The initiative includes guided tours that allow participants to learn about biodiversity, learn about environmental care, and understand how the forestry industry works.
During the walks, participants receive information about flora, fauna, the water cycle, soil conservation, and responsible management of natural resources. They also learn how raw materials from forestry activity, such as wood and cellulose, are transformed into products present in everyday life, highlighting the importance of balancing production with ecosystem care.
Gustavo Apablaza, CMPC South Relationship Management deputy manager, explained that these tours seek to bring children, young people, and adults closer to the value of forests and their biodiversity, providing knowledge directly in the field. The proposal uses natural spaces as open-air classrooms, where visitors can observe and understand the different elements that are part of the forest environment.
The trails are available to educational institutions, institutions, social organizations, and groups interested in participating in outdoor learning experiences. Currently, the tours take place on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays in CMPC Junquillar and Pumalal parks, while at El Cóndor they are scheduled for Thursdays and Saturdays. Soon, the initiative will also reach CMPC Lastarria Park.
All activities are free and require prior registration to coordinate visits and adapt the experience to the characteristics of each group, thereby strengthening the link between communities, forests, and knowledge of the forestry sector.
