Plant a tree

image Following a delay due to the bad weather in January, students from San José de Calasanz school finally got to plant 100 specimens of native shrubs and aromatic plants at the Municipal Polideportivo.

The Council for the Environment in Bigastro organises this annual event. The councillor responsible, Isidro Ricart says that this type of activity excites young people. In addition it reminds them of the importance of maintaining and taking care of our surroundings, and teaches them respect for the Environment.

It is a wonderful idea; the children can see how the plants grow and flourish along with their own development. In years to come they can point to the plants and tell their own children how they were responsible for starting that new life.
