Dear friends of AMIGOS ARBOLITO
Urban reforestation campaign
Many large cities such as Madrid, Berlin, New York, and Amsterdam, among others, have understood the importance of recovering the natural environment. That progress is not about building large gray concrete deserts but planning green cities. Urban gardens provide us with healthy food. Trees in our living space make us feel better, protect us from the intense heat waves we constantly suffer, and help to ensure our water sources and oceans, which are the largest producers of oxygen on the planet.

Your rooted friend in the yard
To initiate reforestation in the urban zones of our canton, we are launching the campaign "Tu amigo de Raíz en tu Patio" (your rooted friend in the yard). Whether a shade-giving deciduous tree or a fruit-bearing food source, every tree counts and improves our quality of life. Last but not least, its flowers provide food for bees and other insects.

SHOW ADVANTAGES
The advantages of a tree in the garden are many. We want to bring these closer to the people in the region and thus motivate as many families as possible to plant one or more trees in front of, behind, or next to their houses so that not only more trees grow but also awareness of the importance of protecting our environment.

RAISE AWARENESS AND DONATE TREES
Within the AMIGOS ARBOLITO project, we give away seedlings of endemic deciduous and fruit trees. We grow them on our Quinta or channel gifts from other organizations or private individuals. The sensitization of the population, the raising and care of the seedlings, and the logistics are time-consuming and involve costs. We are therefore grateful for any donation.
