The outmigration that has taken place in the Central Pyrenees since the 1950s has resulted in a great reduction in the rural population and the abandonment of extensive areas. Reforestation has been undertaken by various authorities to ensure the reclamation of this land. This paper discusses the recent history of reforestation, the techniques used, and the environmental factors involved. It concludes with an overview of the results of these policies and the success in creating new forested land. -Authors
