Students and teachers are part of a local reforestation drive.
Green vegetation plays a vital role in lowering urban temperatures due to the shade it provides and the evaporation of water. The temperature difference between the asphalt and the green environment can exceed 10°C.
These are just some of the benefits of expanding urban green areas, which Choele Choel Mayor Diego Ramello has implemented as a national policy in his community since his first term of community management.
In the context of this decision, they have planted 1,000 trees over the past two years and are now redoubling their efforts. “We hope to finish August this year and plant another 1,000 trees throughout the month. We are very close to achieving that goal,” he said.
The World Health Organization states that a city must provide each resident with at least 9.2 square meters of green area to be considered healthy. Choele Choele Panorama.
María Luisina Parola, official of the Secretariat of Planning and Environment, said: “We plan and program cities through green infrastructure actions that have a direct or indirect impact on reducing greenhouse gas emissions and adapting to climate change. Positive impact.
Add more sponsors
“Within the framework More and Better Trees Over the past two years, we have planted more than 1,000 urban tree specimens among native willows in green spaces, sidewalks and riverbanks”, he pointed out.
“Like the next one August 29th is Arbor Day We’re doubling down and proposing to plant an additional 1,000 trees within a month. We create project for this “My Sidewalks, Our Trees: An Urban Forestry Plan” The ultimate goal is to plant sidewalks with neighbors in all neighborhoods,” said the architect, who also specializes in urban planning and landscaping.
“To achieve this goal, we are looking for sponsors (companies, businessmen, producers, institutions and neighbors) who are willing to join the project by donating trees. “We do not charge money, we collect trees,” he clarifies.
What tree should be donated?
What should someone interested in donating a tree for planting do? “You can go to the municipality’s planning and environment office or write to 54 9 2216229414,” he said.

Parola reports When developing urban forestry plans, consider that public trees are composed of specimens of different tree speciesmeeting the conditions and characteristics conducive to its protection and improvement, namely:
Adaptation to the physical environment: climate, soil, water.
Dimensions: root, height.
Ornamental and landscape qualities.
Leaf density and type: evergreen, deciduous.
Growth rate: Growth is rapid in the early stages.
longevity.
The flexibility and resistance of its branches.
Resistance to pests and/or pathogens.
Tolerance to environmental pollution.
Does not secrete substances that affect other organisms, items and the environment.
Undesirable characteristics of urban tree specimens are:
Those that contain toxins or can cause allergies and affect people’s health.
Spiny species.
Invasive alien species.
Therefore, the tree species chosen are: crape myrtle, garden plum, American ash and/or golden ash, white and/or pink acacia. “This guarantees the sustainability of the ongoing reforestation,” Parola concluded.
