The project began in 2013 trying to boost land stewardship agreements between forest owners and shepherds in order to get a biomass reduction in exchange for grazing rights. The first pilot agreement was carried out between two forest owners and an beef cattle farmer, with satisfactory results for all parties. In total, seven agreements have been signed which represents 357ha of forest.
