Field trip to Herdade do Areeiro e Caneira

On the 2nd of May, the students of Forestry II of Forestry Engineering and Natural Resources from Instituto Superior de Agronomia went to Herdade do Areeiro e Caneira, in Coruche. They were wonderfully welcomed by the owner Rita Bonacho and by the technician of the Forest Owner Association of Coruche Mariana Ribeiro Telles. The students were accompanied by CEF/ISA Professors Helena Almeida, Paula Soares and Manuel Madeira and also by Engineer Paulo Marques.

In this Forestry lecture, given by Professor Manuel Madeira, forest problematic areas were identified by Rita and Mariana and several soil profiles were analysed with the intent of explaining the problems and proposing alternatives/improvements.
