Ainda na Caminhada da Fórnea, em Torres Novas encontramos a Serralha. Serralha, serralha-branca ou serralha macia, encontrada em quase todo o mundo, é comestível e rica em vitaminas A, D e E; possui um sabor amargo e paladar que lembra o espinafre, e é usada em saladas. Também é utilizada com fins medicinais. Planta ruderal, frequentemente próxima às cercas e muros nos quintais e em terrenos baldios, habita ainda campos de cultivo, hortas, jardins, mas também de forma menos expressiva habitats naturais. Geralmente é encontrada próxima às cercas e muros nos quintais e nos terrenos baldios; alcança entre 30 a 80 cm de altura.

Conservation Fund’s Green Bonds Pay Off: Eight Forests And 220,000 Acres

Conservation Fund’s Green Bonds Pay Off: Eight Forests And 220,000 Acres

Are trees a good investment? Back in 2019, The Conservation Fund closed on $150 million in green bonds dedicated to forest conservation in the United States. The Virginia-based nonprofit recently issued an impact report, highlighting what the bonds achieved in 2020.

The organization says it used $131 million in proceeds to acquire eight forests worth more than $245 million and covering a total of 223,760 acres in Virginia, Maine, Pennsylvania, Minnesota and Florida. These forests would have otherwise been threatened by development and fragmentation, a fund spokeswoman says.

As explained in the impact report, the green bonds support The Conservation Fund’s Working Forest Fund, dubbed as a “natural climate solution” with a goal to mitigate climate change, strengthen rural economies and protect natural ecosystems through the permanent conservation of at-risk forests.

By the Numbers

That 223,760 acres is an area 15 times the size of Manhattan and includes 444 miles of streams and local benefits like creating or maintaining 1,145 jobs and supporting $138 million in economic impact.

Minnesota’s Heritage Forest, totaling 72,440 acres, was acquired by The Conservation Fund for about … [+] $48 million. The fund will manage the forestland for wildlife, water quality and sustainable timber harvesting, while continuing traditional recreational uses, including hunting and fishing, leaders said in a news release.

MORE FOR YOU

Forests also have the ability to sequester carbon, and about 54 million tons is secured by the green bond forests, the report notes, with an annual capture capacity equal to the carbon output of 1.4 billion (with a b) passenger vehicle miles.

More specifically, the green bond projects have secured more than 37,000 acres of “climate resilient land,” or areas that provide native species with a range of climate variations essential to survival as the overall climate shifts.

As well, 92,924 acres of the forests are classified as “climate flow zones,” or areas that provide connectivity for species migrating in response to climate change.

Investment Math

How does $131 million in investment equal $245 million worth of forests?

The Conservation Fund blended the bond proceeds with other sources of capital to end up with more acres protected and a greater climate impact. Not a bad recipe.

A spokeswoman says The Conservation Fund is on track to use the remaining bond proceeds early this year for a second round of new projects.

Drilling down (not in the forests, but figuratively), the impact report highlights three projects: the Chadbourne Tree Farm in Maine, Clarion Junction Forest in Pennsylvania and Pleasant River Headwaters Forest in Maine.

Some highlights: the 15,408-acre Chadbourne project in Maine will protect the fourth largest private forest in the Sebago Lake watershed, filtering drinking water for more than 200,000 residents in the city of Portland.

The 26,739-acre Pleasant River project in Maine forever safeguards critical designated habitat for Atlantic salmon and native brook trout. And acquiring the 32,598-acre Clarion Junction land connects Pennsylvania Game Commission lands and the Allegheny National Forest.

The Clarion forest will continue to be sustainably managed as a working forest, maintaining its role as a steady source of timber for local mills and jobs for timber crews, the fund said in a news release. Hence the name of the effort that the green bonds support: the Working Forest Fund.

In the early morning light, a lone duck glides effortlessly across the still waters of the pond. The reflections create a serene and mesmerizing scene, where nature’s beauty is captured in its purest form. The gentle ripples in the water mirror the peaceful surroundings, offering a moment of tranquility and reflection. 🌊🦆💙

Every so often, nature gifts us with moments of such calm and serenity that they become etched in our memories. This peaceful journey of the duck reminds us to find beauty in simplicity and take time to appreciate the quiet moments. 🌿🌅✨

Take a moment to pause, breathe, and immerse yourself in this tranquil scene. Let it bring a sense of calm and peace to your day. 🧘‍♀️💫

Com o olhar curioso e atento, quem fizer a Caminhada da Fórnea, descobrirá uma riqueza botânica considerável... Depois, é utilizar uma ferramenta, seja um livro, seja uma app, para tentar identificar e saber um pouco mais sobre a planta que observamos. Sabem de que planta de trata? Planta perene, herbácea, da mesma família dos alhos e das cebolas. As suas inflorescências são umbelas hemisféricas, com uma espata na base que envolve a inflorescência quando jovem. As flores são pequenas (ainda assim, maiores que as da cebola ou do alho) com pétalas rosadas ou brancas e odorosas. O seu bolbo, ovóide ou subgloboso e composto de numerosos bolbilhos, nunca se desenvolve muito, tendo cerca de 2 cm de diâmetro. O bolbo é envolvido por uma túnica externa alveolada-pontuada e emana uma cheiro forte e persistente. A planta chega a atingir 65 cm de altura. Lembrem-se que só tiramos fotografias, a única pegadas que deixamos é a que fica marcada no caminho ainda enlameado e deixar...deixamos saudade e vontade de voltar... ​​​​​​​​​ #caminhadadafornea #biodiversidade #geodiversidade #planetaterra #sustentabilidade #mentalhealthawareness #amorpelanatureza #curapelanatureza #naturezaperfeita #flores #maenatureza #ecophotography #earth #ecossistema #planetearth #fazpeloclima #globalactiondays #golocal #geraçãorestauração #TodosSomosTerra #noplacelikehome #liberdade #orquídeas #torresnovas #flora #autentica #saudade #saudavel #vamosvoltar #euvou (at Torres Novas) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cc6J4pMNxXl/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
