non-university schools of our community will be involved in self-defense work, conservation and restoration of forests through the environmental education campaign 'Trees, Forests for Life', which has launched the Regional Government of Andalusia.

This initiative, included in the Environmental Education Program ALDEA, driven by the Ministries of Environment and Education, awareness and facilitate the participation of school children in areas of reforestation and improved forest Andalusian heritage through the provision of seedlings and seedling distribution of educational materials .

To this end the Ministry of Environment has proposed to the school to work on four themes - 'Trees and reforestation', 'Creating a nursery', 'Orchard and Garden "and" Fire-forestales' each teacher to choose which best suits their needs. In this way the Board will make available to schools that enroll a teaching guide, activity book and a CD that compiles all the material and includes interactive activities.
