The reforestation program aims at establishing managed plantations of teak (Tectona grandis) in the Southeastern region of Nicaragua. Available land currently used for cattle grazing is assessed following a land analysis protocol which includes technical criteria, as well as social, infrastructure and legal assessment of the land. Eligible land is divided into both, plantable and conservation areas. The latter consist of watersheds, existing secondary forest, and steep hillsides not eligible for establishing plantations but regeneration of native forest species is allowed through managed regrowth.
