The Department of the Environment, of Manolo Segarra, and that of Education, by Myra van 't Hoff, have changed the philosophy of carrying out joint plantings and celebrate Tree Day entering each house. And, before starting the Easter holidays, was distributed to each school of the Santa María Magdalena CEIP, a native species so that with their families they could plant and take care of their gardens and terraces. They were a total of 290 plants of either holm oak, juniper or arbutus.
With this action, both departments intend to raise awareness among families and involve siblings, parents and grandparents in the planting and care of the tree to guarantee its future. From the Town hall It has been pointed out that the objective is for each boy or girl to get to know native trees and learn to care for and value them while promoting values such as respect for the environment, ecology and care for the natural environment.
Segarra pointed out that "In such an artificial and technological world in which we live we want each child to sink their hands in the earth and feel the pleasure of being an active part of nature. In this way a tree-child bond is created."
La Councilor for Education It affected the symbolic charge of planting a tree in a nearby place "We want to invite you to give a special meaning to each tree planted, we suggest, for example, that each one represents an important date for them as the birth of a brother, a dream come true, a goal in life, or simply that they find in that tree to a friend for life. "
