At Fundo El Volcán, we control the spread of eucalyptus and replace it with native species. This way, we maintain a balance between native and productive forests, protecting biodiversity with responsibility and respect.
At Fundo El Volcán, we work the land with respect and responsibility. We know that eucalyptus is not part of our native ecosystem, which is why we manage it carefully, preventing its spread and protecting biodiversity. We extract eucalyptus following sustainable criteria, and in every cleared area, we plant new native species to restore the forest’s natural balance.
Our goal is not only to produce, but to ensure that native forests and eucalyptus coexist in harmony, without one overtaking the other. We believe this is the way to care for the ecosystem and guarantee its vitality for future generations. Every native tree we plant is an investment in life, diversity, and the future of southern Chile.

Fences and Gates
In the countryside, fences are more than just structures — they are how we organize and care for the land. Our native wood gates are designed to withstand the passage of time and the demanding conditions of southern Chile. With them, we can define spaces, protect livestock, and organize different productive areas without losing harmony with the environment.
Custom Native Wood
At Fundo El Volcán, we work with native woods sourced from responsible forest management, focused on projects that value quality, traceability, and respect for the environment. Each piece is carefully selected and processed under technical standards that ensure stability, durability, and the natural finish characteristic of southern Chile’s native species.
We offer custom native wood, crafted according to specific dimensions and requirements, for construction, fine carpentry, or sustainable design projects. Our sawmill uses controlled drying and cutting processes that preserve the structural and aesthetic properties of each species, reducing waste and optimizing performance.
This service represents the balance between production and conservation: we transform forest resources with respect, contributing to the development of noble materials that keep the natural identity of our land alive.
