City authorities in Seville and the Chamber of Commerce Foundation ink a deal, aiming to achieve and maintain a forest of 30,000 trees by the year 2030.
The City Council of Seville, in collaboration with the Chamber of Commerce Foundation, has launched an exciting new project called 'Replant Sevilla 2.0'. This initiative aims to increase the city's green heritage, create new natural shaded zones, and strengthen public-private collaboration.
The project invites citizens, families, and businesses to sponsor the planting of trees in the city. Over 40,000 euros have been contributed by 12 companies for this worthy cause, and more than 200 trees have already been replanted thanks to this collaboration.
The 'Replant Sevilla 2.0' platform allows users to choose the location for the planted tree and track the process. A map with available positions for tree planting is featured on the website, and users can complete a request form for their preferred location.
Trees will primarily be planted in areas lacking tree cover, prioritizing districts with a deficit of shade. The city government has already planted trees in various districts, including the Avenida de San Jerónimo, Parque de Emilio Lemos, Parque del Tamarguillo, and Avenida de la Borbolla.
A rigorous plan of monitoring and maintenance, including consolidation watering and technical care, is in place for the tree planting. This ensures the trees' successful growth and contributes to the long-term health of Seville's urban forest.
Environmental compensation criteria have been established in all major works, such as the future Line 3 of the Metro. For instance, four trees will be planted for each specimen removed during these projects.
Urban forestry projects like 'Replant Sevilla 2.0' play a crucial role in environmental sustainability, community engagement, and urban beautification. They help absorb carbon dioxide, reduce urban heat islands, and improve air quality while fostering a sense of community responsibility and enhancing the aesthetic appeal of urban areas.
For more specific details about 'Replant Sevilla 2.0', it would be best to contact local authorities or environmental groups in Seville. The project is a continuation of the Replant Sevilla program, launched after the storm Bernard, and has already seen more than 10,000 trees planted in Seville in the last six years. The location map on the platform is currently in the testing phase and will be progressively updated.
The mayor aims to reach a goal of 30,000 trees planted by 2030, contributing to climate change mitigation by carbon sequestration, heat island mitigation, and urban ecosystem services. By participating in this initiative, you can help make Seville a greener, more beautiful, and healthier city for all.
- As part of the 'Replant Sevilla 2.0' project, households and businesses can contribute to environmental-science by sponsoring sustainable-living initiatives, such as the planting of trees in the city's home-and-garden spaces.
- The increase of Seville's green heritage through projects like 'Replant Sevilla 2.0' not only impacts the city's fashion and aesthetic appeal but also aids in controlling climate-change by enhancing urban forests, reducing urban heat islands, and absorbing CO2.
- In line with the initiative's environmental compensation criteria, future development projects, like the Line 3 of the Metro, will integrate sustainable practices, such as planting sustainable trees, as part of their commitment to promoting a greener lifestyle for the city's residents.
