Training Forest Operators in Carbon-Enhancing Silvicultural Techniques

This project trained forest operators in advanced silvicultural techniques—such as selective harvesting, thinning, and conversion to high forest—to enhance carbon sequestration and biodiversity. Conducted on-site within the OG CO2S.Fo.Ma initiative, the training enabled operators to implement additionality-focused interventions, ensuring environmental benefits would not occur without the project. The hands-on approach built self-sufficiency in the project area and prepared operators for future regional projects. Participants reported expanded technical skills, contributing to improved sustainable forest management and increased carbon stock growth.
