(Updated, 21/3/2022) The sustainability team of the InnovPlantProtect, InPP Greeners, will plant 19 almond trees with students from the Alcáçova Primary School, The World Tree Day 2022 event, which was scheduled to take place today, has had to be postponed due to weather conditions. The event, scheduled for today, March 21, had to be postponed due to weather conditions and will be held on a new date to be announced.
The trees will be donated by Bolschare and the initiative has the support of Elvas City Council, In addition to the land, the company also provides the necessary planting material and technical support staff. The event will be attended by Councillor Hermenegildo Rodrigues.
At 9.30 a.m., a total of 57 pupils from three classes in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th grades of the Alcáçova Primary School, part of the Elvas School Group 1, will join InnovPlantProtect (InPP) volunteers and members of the Municipality on the ground to plant the almond trees in the area surrounding the so-called “Amoreira arches” in Rossio de São Francisco.
With this action, InPP Greeners want to make elementary school pupils aware of the importance of trees for life. The almond trees were chosen because not only are they part of the work being carried out by InPP, but they are also of great economic interest to the region and are very beautiful landscape trees.
Bolschare is a family-run company based in Elvas that specializes in planting various crops.
The InPP Greeners are InnovPlantProtect's (InPP) sustainability team, created at the end of 2021 to share knowledge and good practices that lead to the creation of more sustainable laboratories and institutions, as well as promoting the adoption of more sustainable behaviors by all citizens.
