The main challenge was the high density of forage grasses, which made planting and maintaining the area through weeding quite time-consuming.<\/p>\n<p>However, the planting work doesn&#8217;t end there. It is always necessary to maintain the plantations that have already been made, as well as new plantations, not only to replace individuals that may not have survived but also to reinforce the density and diversity of species in the intervention area.<\/p>\n<p>We want to thank everyone who contributed to achieving this goal, from schools to volunteers and collaborators, especially the project&#8217;s field workers and the Pico Environment and Climate Action Service!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-5740\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lifebeetlesazores.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/equipa-Piedade-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lifebeetlesazores.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/equipa-Piedade-66x66.jpg 66w, https:\/\/www.lifebeetlesazores.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/equipa-Piedade-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.lifebeetlesazores.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/equipa-Piedade-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.lifebeetlesazores.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/equipa-Piedade-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lifebeetlesazores.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/equipa-Piedade-400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.lifebeetlesazores.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/equipa-Piedade-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.lifebeetlesazores.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/equipa-Piedade-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lifebeetlesazores.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/equipa-Piedade-800x800.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.lifebeetlesazores.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/equipa-Piedade-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.lifebeetlesazores.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/equipa-Piedade-1200x1200.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.lifebeetlesazores.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/equipa-Piedade-1536x1536.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.lifebeetlesazores.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/equipa-Piedade.jpg 1630w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>\u00a0 \u00a0<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-5738\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lifebeetlesazores.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/caiado-11-1-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lifebeetlesazores.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/caiado-11-1-66x66.jpg 66w, https:\/\/www.lifebeetlesazores.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/caiado-11-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.lifebeetlesazores.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/caiado-11-1-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.lifebeetlesazores.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/caiado-11-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lifebeetlesazores.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/caiado-11-1-400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.lifebeetlesazores.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/caiado-11-1-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.lifebeetlesazores.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/caiado-11-1-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lifebeetlesazores.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/caiado-11-1-800x800.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.lifebeetlesazores.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/caiado-11-1-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.lifebeetlesazores.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/caiado-11-1-1200x1200.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.lifebeetlesazores.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/caiado-11-1-1536x1536.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>\u00a0 \u00a0<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-5736\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lifebeetlesazores.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Zona-de-Plantacao-1-1-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lifebeetlesazores.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Zona-de-Plantacao-1-1-66x66.jpg 66w, https:\/\/www.lifebeetlesazores.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Zona-de-Plantacao-1-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.lifebeetlesazores.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Zona-de-Plantacao-1-1-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.lifebeetlesazores.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Zona-de-Plantacao-1-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lifebeetlesazores.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Zona-de-Plantacao-1-1-400x400.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.lifebeetlesazores.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Zona-de-Plantacao-1-1.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":5738,"template":"","class_list":["post-5741","noticias","type-noticias","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v16.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>The goal of planting 10,000 trees in Lagoa do Caiado was surpassed! | Life Beetles Azores<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"During May, the LIFE BEETLES project achieved its goal of planting 10,000 endemic trees in Lagoa do Caiado on the island of Pico.
