Planting activity at Bensaúde Park
We are the Planet! And so we want to contribute to a greener world.
Planting a tree today guarantees the survival of the next generations. It is impossible to imagine the Earth without trees!
It was in this context that, on April 9th, our seniors participated in a planting activity at Bensaúde Park, promoted by the São Domingos de Benfica City Council in partnership with myplanet.pt, a project of The Navigator Company.
The trees planted were the following:
- Cedro do Buçaco - cupressus lusitanica
- Cedro do Atlas - cedrus atlantica
- Castanheiro - castanea sativa
- Sobreiro - quercus suber
- Medronheiro - arbutus unedo
The planting of trees is one of the most efficient means of reversing the environmental impacts caused by man in nature. It is a safe, effective and relatively cheap method when compared to other ecosystem regeneration models.
In addition, the tree planting activity encourages groups of people to come together and share events, improving the quality of life for seniors and communities in general.
