Forest Cleaning and Weeding
We clean public and private land in rural and urban areas. According to the needs of each site, we perform activities of general cleaning and weeding, clearing of paths, borders and ditches, and pruning of trees and shrubs.
The cleaning of private plots of land, located in Portuguese rural forest areas, is mandatory for the safety of all, constituting a legal obligation regulated by the Portuguese law No. 124/2006 of June the 28 th - National System of Forest Defence against Fire – updated by the law No. 14/2019 of January the 21 st:
