O InnovPlantProtect<\/a> (InPP) and D. Sancho II Secondary School<\/a>, from Agrupamento de Escolas n.\u00ba 3 de Elvas, are going to organize a pedipaper at the Elvas Municipal Garden<\/a> for 10th graders to explore, identify and marvel at the different trees in the garden and their differentiating characteristics. The initiative is part of and will take place on Fascination of Plants Day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event, to which Elvas City Council<\/a> (CME) joins, will be held on the morning of May 18, 2021, Fascination of Plants Day<\/a>. The Municipal Garden of Elvas is the largest green space in this Alentejo city, where the InPP is based. There you'll find specimens of olaias, linden trees, olive trees, cedars, orange trees, horse chestnut trees, mulberry trees, casuarinas, ash trees and carob trees, among many others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The activity starts at 8:30 a.m. and will be divided into three sessions of 90 minutes each, for three 10th grade classes at Escola Secund\u00e1ria D. Sancho II: from 8:30 a.m. to 10 a.m., from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., and from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.. InPP researchers and teachers from the school will be on site to assist the participants. Another class, from the multimedia technical course, is due to take part, reporting on the event. At a later date, a similar activity will be offered to the class from the technical-vocational agricultural course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The topic of Biodiversity is covered by the 10th grade. As a result of this activity, InPP, Escola Secund\u00e1ria D. Sancho II and CME will continue to collaborate on the development of a physical identification system for the Garden's trees, based on a QR (Quick Response) code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This QR code, once scanned by a visitor's smartphone, will give access to a database on the trees in the Elvas Municipal Garden, including their identification, description, curiosities, history and mythology. This database\/digital brochure will be created by InPP researchers and the school's students and teachers, and made available to the CME and all the secondary schools in the municipality of Elvas, in a project that should run until 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
