The celebration, which was postponed from its official date of March 20 due to an educational strike, began with the planting of lime trees. Afterwards, participants were divided into groups to engage in different educational activities focused on the natural environment.
“"The Mancomunitat and parks and gardens are in charge of planting the trees and then they do a workshop on planting cuttings, and each child takes home a pot with planted cuttings, those from the Escola Agrària do nature-related games, from Espai Ermengol they do a scavenger hunt, called Who committed the crime? and the Arxiu Comarcal does a resin workshop."
Laia Zurita, a teaching technician at the Centre de Recursos Pedagògics de l’Alt Urgell, highlighted the involvement of various local entities in organizing the event. Activities included workshops on planting cuttings, nature games led by the Escola Agrària, a scavenger hunt from Espai Ermengol, and a resin workshop by the Arxiu Comarcal.
“"What we want is to make students aware that every day we must take care of nature, the trees that give us life, and make small gestures and love nature."
Sandra Meya, director of the Centre de Recursos Pedagògics de l’Alt Urgell, emphasized the importance of continuing this initiative to foster environmental awareness among young people. The day also saw the participation of the Agents Rurals, who released a bird from the Centre de Fauna de Vallcalent.
