Mission and vision

Every summer Galicia burns. It is time to act.

Thousands of hectares of Galician forest burn every year, and it hurts us deeply. An abandoned forest is a forest that burns. We want looking after the forest to be good business too.

Mission

Make the forest worth more alive than logged or burnt

To build a sustainable company that helps businesses reduce their carbon footprint, protects Galicia’s forests and gives their owners an income for keeping them standing.

Vision

A Galician forest that is alive, cared for and connected

We imagine a Galicia where every tree is valued for what it does while standing, where companies offset with real forest and where anyone can own their piece of ancient woodland.

Together for a better world: start with a forest that doesn't burn.

What drives us

Our values

Forest first

We win when the trees stay standing. If the forest is lost, we all lose.

Rural life at the centre

The value stays in Galicia, in the hands of those who look after the forest.

Total transparency

Everything that backs a Buxo is public and verifiable on the blockchain.

Native species matter

We favour mixed forests and native species, which live longer and absorb more.
