- Management in the 5th to the

Managing natural resources
Planting and cultivation for the development of trees, with Elliottis Pine.
![]()
currently has plantations of Pinus ellliottii. Nevertheless, the areas with native trees are being left apart as areas of biologic preservation and the other areas are being replanted or transformed into plantations of Pinus elliotti because this species is the one that adapted and developed better in the company Forest Management Units.



- After 18 years the plant is ready for industrialization.
Areas of Permanent Preservation
The management regimen for areas of permanent preservation was defined as of biodiversity preservation and resource protection, i.e., of no exploration or use.
According to this regimen, the resource management brings no direct financial results, and its existence is due to its relation with the maintenance of the biologic capacities and qualities of these areas.
The following are classified as areas of permanent preservation: Springs, Gallery Forest, Marshes, Lakes, Areas with 100% declivity, rock
emergence.

The management regimen for the areas of legal reserve was defined as of preservation, i.e., of no exploration or use.
According to article 16º of the Brazilian Forest Code (Law no 4.771/65), a legal reserve, understood as an area of minimum 20% of each property where
clear cut is not allowed, must be annotated on the margin of the application document for the real estate registration, in the proper real estate registration office, being the modification of its destination prohibited, in cases of transmission, under any circumstance, or land splitting.
With guidance from the state environment department – FATMA, at this moment is developing the process of registration of its legal Reserves, which has the objective of legalizing the situation of the Forest Management Units as well as establishing forest fragments currently existing as areas of environment preservation and
control.
