The project aims to plant 65,000 Atlantic Rainforest trees in the municipality riparian forests. For this purpose, the factory built a tree-nursery (with an annual productive capacity of 8,000 seedlings per year) to produce Atlantic Rainforest tree species.
The factory hired a consultant from the Forestry Institute of the State to help with the tree-nursery. Until the moment, 1,300 seedlings have already been planted in two degraded hectares of a sugarcane farm called “Fazenda Córrego das Canoas” and around 300 seedlings were distributed to the local community .
Along with that, the company developed an educational project with three local schools. The factory created a character called “Telhadinho” (Little Roof Man) which illustrates a booklet about the importance of the environment.
Also, Ituiutaba hired a theater company to visit the schools and introduce the project to the students. Booklets and seedlings were distributed to 1,100 students to show them the importance of the environment and these students cultivated the seeds for a month until its transformation into a seedling.
During all the project activities, ten students from a local university (Universidade Estadual de Minas Gerais) provided assistance.
