The Regional Nursery carried out a coordinated environmental improvement initiative, delivering a total of 2,700 forest and ornamental plants to municipalities, schools, associations, public services and island communities.
The initiative goes beyond the distribution of planting material. It is intended as a strategic intervention to strengthen the resilience of natural and urban environments, improve residents' quality of life and upgrade public spaces.
Planting helps protect the environment against the effects of the climate crisis, improve the microclimate in towns and settlements, increase greenery in schools and everyday spaces, and promote biodiversity and environmental awareness.
