Predio Las Piedras is a Restoration project in Acajete, Veracruz, Mexico that is run by a local community working to restore 34.52 hectares of degraded native pine-oak forest. The project, which began in May 2019 and has committed to a 100-year crediting period, aims to enhance forest carbon stocks by planting native pine species and implementing protective measures to enhance natural regeneration.
