Florestar.Net

"Este site surgiu com a intenção de criar um espaço dedicado às árvores e arbustos autóctones de Portugal continental. Face a todos os problemas ambientais que estão a causar grandes mudanças no nosso clima e paisagem, todos nós devemos contribuir para construir um futuro melhor. Assim o principal objetivo é promover a plantação de espécies vegetais indígenas. São espécies que se adequam ao nosso clima sem precisar de cuidados especiais, sendo fundamentais para a manutenção da biodiversidade e dos recursos hídricos. Podem também ser aproveitadas em termos económicos, pela madeira ou frutos, na criação de áreas de recreio, entre outras.
Na secção Espécies autóctones são disponibilizadas informações sobre as espécies que ocorrem no nosso país. A secção Florestar pretende no futuro ser um espaço onde os utilizadores possam trocar ideias e colocar anúncios de oferta ou procura de árvores." (Início)

"Established Anno Domini 1995

" Sadly, like many other flora and fauna, succulent plants are under pressure throughout the world from encroaching urbanisation, agriculture and the depredations of widespread non-indigenous livestock such as goats.
