Young environmentalists

Every year, pupils from the local primary school, the Colegio San José de Calasanz, celebrated Tree Day by planting Mediterranean species in some part of the town.

The daughter of our Spanish neighbours remembers planting pine trees up at La Pedrera close to our house when she was at school.

This year, 40 pupils from the 6th grade planted young mastic, rosemary, wild olive and carob. As the bushes grow and flourish no doubt the children will visit them and enjoy the fruits of their labour.
