Ciudad Real helped schools to plant trees in Spain

SCHOOL CHILDREN FROM CIUDAD REAL CELEBRATED THE TREE’S AND WATER’S DAY 21-22 March 2016 Over seventy children accompanied by their teachers arranged to meet  on 18th of March in Parque del Pilar in Ciudad Real in an instructive session  on  the occasion of the celebration of the Tree’s and Water’s Day. The pupils coming from the schools of Valverde and Las Casas travelled  to Ciudad Real since the beginning of the school day to take part in the different  activities scheduled by the Scope of Environment of the Ciudad Real Local  Government. The activity was set out with the main goal of making students  aware of the importance of green areas and water in the quality of citizens’ life. A brief explanation started up the activity and the children were put into  groups to carry out several educational tasks. All the groups took a walk around the park paying attention to the  gardeners’ explanations about the different species of trees and their  characteristics as well as their beneficial action to the town. Afterwards, the pupils were involved in planting new trees to help in the  diversity of this important part of our town.
