Order No. 0020 for the establishment of methods of reforestation, 19 March 1987.
In light of the "Green Movement" policy and the development of the Colombia Major National Reforestation Plan, this Order establishes the following methods of promoting reforestation:  1) advice and guidance to those concerned with tree planting; 2) forestry planning for farms; and 3) grants of trees whenever possible in the proportions indicated in the Order.  The Order classifies beneficiaries into small-size tree farmers (up to 20 hectares, and 80% of whose income derives from that activity); and medium- and large-scale tree farmers (more than 20 hectares).  Other provisions of the Order deal with applications, dates of completion of requirements, and the actual methods of promoting reforestation.
