5.     Conditions applicable to the planting of trees

Trees purchased and/or donated through the Site will be physically planted in the next reforestation season corresponding to the selected area, to the extent conditions permit, as determined by the Foundation.

The User declares to know that the location coordinates of each tree are approximate and could have a margin of difference with the real location of the tree. To avoid leaving residue, the trees on the ground do not have material elements that allow exact identification. Additionally, some of the Foundation’s plantations are located in areas that are difficult to access since they are located on sloping surfaces, narrow roads and/or under adverse weather conditions. Therefore, the Foundation declares that it is not responsible for providing the means that allow correct identification or access, by Users, to the trees planted by it. Likewise, the User declares to know and accept that the trees purchased and/or donated will be planted on land owned by third parties.

Regarding the survival percentages of trees, Fundación Reforestemos points out that in the development of a forest there is natural competition between species, which is why not all individuals reach adulthood. Fundación Reforestemos has survival rates for its plantations above 65%, which is considered successful in the planting of native species.

Therefore, when purchasing and/or donating a tree through the Site, the User understands and accepts that not all planted trees, including those that he himself may have purchased and/or donated through the Site, will reach the adulthood. The above does not prevent trees from being a fundamental factor for the formation, stimulation and development of new forests and ecosystems. To learn more about the procedures of the Foundation’s projects, you can review the technical reports at https://www.reforestemos.org/nuestro-proyecto/informes-tecnicos/.

In the event that certain projects have obviously unfavorable results (survival less than 50%), replanting will be evaluated to improve the density of the project. In critical events, where the results tend to be zero due to natural catastrophes (fires, drought, landslides, etc.) or there are changes in the circumstances of the places defined for planting the trees that do not make their use advisable, and If the Foundation determines the unviability of the project, the Foundation will be empowered to relocate the reforestation to another area that meets better conditions, reassigning the location/coordinates of the trees. The Foundation will not be obliged to inform the User of the reassignment and/or relocation of the trees in question.
