Ponte Preta neighborhood receives seedlings of native trees to protect water
Thousands of seedlings of trees native to the Atlantic Forest are being planted throughout the region, through the support that Copaíba offers to landowners interested in recovering their areas. This support is done through the donation of seedlings and all the technical assistance necessary for the seedlings to become trees and, on their own, manage to develop.
More than 150,000 tree seedlings of native species have already been donated to landowners in the region of the Peixe and Camanducaia river basins. This initiative began in 2010, with Verde Novo, a project carried out by Copaíba, sponsored by Petrobras, through the Petrobras Socio-environmental Program.
The seedlings were planted in more than 200 properties in the municipalities of Águas de Lindóia/SP, Lindóia/SP, Amparo/SP, Socorro/SP, Serra Negra/SP, Pedra Bela/SP, Pinhalzinho/SP, Itapira/SP, Monte Alegre do Sul/SP, Bueno Brandão/MG, Munhoz/MG, Toledo/MG and Monte Sião/MG.
And there are more seedling donations happening. In addition to the seedlings, the partner owners receive, free of charge, the inputs to assist in the planting and the technical project and the technical assistance and follow-up for the development of the seedlings. For two years, after planting, Copaíba's technical team supports the periodic visit to the properties for this follow-up.
Copaíba has supported many people. For the institution, it is a great possibility to expand the recovery of forests in the region. “It's an incredible opportunity that we offer to landowners in the region. In this partnership, we add strength and share lessons learned, so that together we can recover native forests. Not to mention that we are taking a very important action, contributing to the conservation of water sources”, comments Flávia Balderi, coordinator of the Verde Novo project.
Landowners interested in recovering native forests on their properties can receive seedlings and support from Copaíba free of charge. To do this, just contact the institution and register.
