Forests created or improved Scuole Verdi
Why did we support this forest?
A greener school for the children and youth of Carmignano di Brenta. New trees and shrubs will provide clean air, shade and make the learning environment healthier and safer.
History of the forest
A school surrounded by greenery is every parent’s dream. Seeing your children enjoying a lawn, climbing trees, and playing with leaves is definitely preferable to a concrete jungle. In the municipality of Carmignano di Brenta, the school complex welcomes children from nursery school to middle school, an age group for which contact with nature is essential. Over the last five years, there have been various improvements to roads, buildings, and parking lots, but action was needed on the environmental front.
Where is the forest located?
How we improved the forest
To make the school grounds more liveable and sustainable, we planted about 600 new trees and shrubs around the school buildings. The species selected are wind-resistant and suited to the new climate, capable of providing shade, improving air quality, and increasing the safety and well-being of students and teachers. These include holm oak and maple, species that are ideal for capturing air pollutants. This concrete intervention makes the school a more resilient place, suitable for learning and outdoor play.
